She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance a while
She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh then smile
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

Happy New Year, FJ. Time flies, indeed.
Where did all the time go? :)

In one ear and out the other?
...feels that way lately.
Too much Kronos and not enough Kairos.
:P
you are most definitely correct!
too much time spent just surviving. I'm ready to be out of survival mode...
"Now let's dance a while"... :)
:P
Yes let's do! I'll take that flow any day. I'm tired of over thinking.
:)
It's all in the letting go... like dancing. I used to be very self-conscious when dancing... and I still think too much when I shouldn't. :(
Letting go feels entirely foreign right now.
I'm trying my hand at letting go of the "small stuff"... especially as it relates to work. We'll see how long I can go w/o obsessing.
I'm rooting for you. It's incredible how much time I spend thinking about the little job related stuff when I'm off the clock ...
Now...obsessing about the kids takes things to a new level. Evidence that I need to get back to my hobbies. I haven't camped in nearly a year. :(
You doing colleges yet? My first going off is probably what led to my "psychic break" in 2001... and I really screwed up his first few years. We had him "commuting 60 miles a day" to UM College Park... leading to his dropping out, and going to the local community college for a year. We finally saw him enrolled in a program at UMBC living on campus. Fortunately, that worked. He works for Microsoft/ZeniMax now as a game designer leading the "encounters" group for Elder Scrolls online.
Letting go can be the hardest thing...
My oldest is in college, middle is graduating this year. Youngest is a sophomore. They take turns being in crisis. We are doing community college with all 3.
Add her type 1 on top. She had a hypoglycemic seizure last year that screwed me up pretty bad. Trauma never goes away. It just settles right beneath the surface and gets yanked back up even ANYTHING scary happens. I feel like a walking ball of raw nerves most days. I tried EMDR for post traumatic stress syndrome and it helped, but it's still there. Oh, the original trauma is Angel's birth/death.
I've been told to talk/wow about it until it no longer holds so much;"power".
In taking steps to take care of myself.
Than you for sharing about your oldest boy. Sounds like he's doing well. Stories like that give me hope and encouragement. Oldest daughter took 2020 off of college, but she's back at it.
My oldest married a Type 1. They're currently shopping for a "surrogate" to try and surmount the associated health/fertility issues. I just hope that they both don't end up heart-broken.
Middle child is gay/married and happy working for Verizon. Youngest, the lawyer, is single-not-looking is staying with son #2 and building a new house about 20 miles away. At least we're all still close.
My family is ALL over the map (brothers in PA and CA, and sister in AK).
I hope their search for a surrogate works out and goes smoothly.
My kids are remarkably close and supportive of one another. They are basically best friends. I never had that growing up and it gives me so much joy to see them loving each other. I'm go grateful for that.
It sounds like your kids are close too.
Yes, my kids are pretty close. They're within 2.5 years of age of the middle (born '82/85/88).
