Certain uncertainty...

Lately, I have really been giving serious thought to a future beyond the next six months. I feel like Jon's career may soon really be settling in, and then it will be my turn. I want to have a "plan" for this eventuality. I have been putting ideas into categories, too. Like, "dream", "doable", and "settling". As I process these ideas, I really am counting on God to open my eyes and my heart to new possibilities. So, as I undertake this "what do I want to be when I grow up?" phase, I want to keep sight of a few truths: 1. My husband and our family (of two or how ever many we end up as) remains my priority. 2. I am confident that whatever God has in store for me will leave room for truth number one. 3. I must hold on to myself, and not "become" what I choose. Ok, that being said, I am off to process!

Well, I am trying out a new thing-- it is called actually writing on a regular basis. We'll see how long THAT lasts, eh? It will at least make it one day! I have been overcome by Olympic Fever. There is no known cure, and it can only be treated with megadoses of cathode-ray tube exposure. The good news is that this virus runs its course in about 16 days or so, leaving its victims with no long-term damage. I find myself saying things like, "Wow, that was a great routine, but the dismount did nothing for me. Did you see that hop-step? Tsk, tsk!" I am also developing weird crushes on beautiful looking young men at whom I would ordinarily not even glance twice. It's just the whole moment-of-glory effect. Ah well, this too shall pass. In the meantime, it's back to the couch and those women's gymnatics scores!
