Terrific Tuesday

I am just feeling on top of the world at the moment and want to shout it from the rooftops! Maybe my Post Natal Depression is finally starting to take a back seat as I am feeling happy far more often than I am feeling down or numb. I actually feel like I am getting excited about my life again and look forward to the days, weeks and months ahead :) 

In true Kate form, I am totally overcommitted right now. I am making cakes for two occasions this weekend, writing a short story with a fast approaching deadline and I have three spiritual growth commitments that have fallen in this one week that are keeping me out until 10pm each night. Then there are the regular weekly activities of Kindy, swimming lessons, dance lessons, Mum's Group, doctors appointment, groceries and don't even get me started on the household chores (bloody rain and washing are not my friends this week!!!) 

But in mentioning all of the chaos of my week ahead, I say it without a grain of complaint. I really am thriving on being busy and loving the adventure of each day and the challenges it brings. I guess I kind of feel like I am getting ready to move to the next stage of my life. It is like I have taken the time out to focus on starting a family and have consequently been blessed with two beautiful children (...that I could throttle some days, but on the whole they are pretty wonderful). Now that I have brought them into this world and focused on grounding them and making sure they know they are loved, secure and safe to thrive in our family, it is time to broaden the focus to building a bright future for them. It's time to start focusing on my future career options and building financial security to help give my kids access to every opportunity that comes their way. But which way do I step? Which career path do I pursue?

Logically speaking, my background is in Human Services and Early Childhood Education but I don't see myself jumping back into either of those roles directly. In an ideal world I would be an author so perhaps I need to try and incorporate my skills base with my dream of being an author...? Who knows!?!? There is no answer to this of course, I am just rambling and letting my thoughts flow...my goodness this Blog is so therapeutic!! Thank you all so much for supporting it and I just love jumping on each day and seeing what words will flow to enrich my life and yours. Have a wonderful day everyone, in fact, have a Terrific Tuesday :)
