I found this quote online today, on a blog I frequent... The blogger is a stay at home mom, who is also an amazing photographer and an arts and crafts queen! I often get involved in crafty projects and get this very excited, jump out of bed feeling so that I can get started on it again.. Once the project is completed, I feel accomplished, and I guess in a way, like I've succeeded... It's a pretty great feeling. I appreciate this outlook on success, because at times, I think about my life and wonder what it is that makes me successful and if I've succeeded yet..... I'll be 28 next m
onth and am only a sophomore in college. We're living in limbo in Tennessee waiting to get out of the army next year, both in jobs we don't exactly love. I'm surrounded by friends that have graduated, have jobs they're proud of and/or are in the process of starting the next big step in life, by having babies. Matt and I have decided that for both of us, our education has to come first. We must succeed in our education before any kids can be in our agenda. This is sad to me at times, because I would love to have a little Davis babe in my house screaming, pooping, and oogling over mom and dad. Should I measure my success, but the successes of others?? No, definitely not. I'm learning that it's ok for us to live our lives differently than everyone else. We're a few steps behind, and are just in the process of catching up. One day, we'll be in the right place and time, and we'll be ready to begin the process of completing our family. Until then, I will remember this quote, and consistenly remind myself that sometimes it's ok to march to the beat of your own drum, when it's the beat suited best for you......
