Ponderings

Stress is not something take very well on my own. Could it be that my nature is to make others feel better instead of worse about their situations? I'm always willing to lend a hand, but I think it's time for a change. I'm a 27 single mother of a five year old boy.

My life is pretty routine; I get up in the morning, shower, wake my son, dress and head out the door before the daycare van leaves to drop my son off at school. I go straight to work and take the same path due to the chaotic traffic on IH635. One humor I enjoy about this route is those that I see in the morning traveling on IH635 are stuck just like me. I have so many dreams that I don't will ever be met. It's not so much my fault as I keep finding road block in my path.

I want to graduate from college with hopes to find a Career in writing. I've always wanted to be a writer or make my hobby of reading books a career. I know it is possible but where to start is difficult, do I write letters to those in that field or do I search every square inch of the Internet for useful information? Sometimes I feel my life is a book, that with a turn of a page it can either bore you to tears or make you mad from the choices I make that don't satisfy my dreams. Believe me, the frustration is there for me to succeed and leave the corporate world, but as my significant other always says "its easier to find a job when you have a job." So true! It's not impossible to become a writer, I'm doing it now! I know that there will be obstacles preventing me from finishing my quest for completion but I cannot let that stop me.

There are several authors in the world still trying to complete a life worth of written work. Thesis', biographies, and that unfinished idea you saved to a floppy you never thought to start up again. I have ideas, but as always they come to me in the most inopportune times, when I can't write them down because I'm driving or I forget to bring my mini recorder with me to repeat it. Ugh, I will make a change and it will start many good things.
