Lost

I feel lost in life. Sort of lost my way recently.

I would love some directions...anyone got any?

Being happy where you are.

Why is it hard to be happy where you are? Physically, in life, emotionally.

Sometimes I play the game with myself that life is always greener on that other side of the fence. But have I noticed how lovely the green is right here...with me.

I look at friends that are married, friends that make more money than I do, friends that have lovely children and I think...why am I not there.

But then I remember: I love my job. I love my family. I have the best of friends that surround me, support me, and love me. I have the best house even if it is pest ridden. I have a great car. And in general I am very happy.

So, why don't I remember that all the time?

Turning 30

So, tonight I find myself in the last evening of my twenties. I am excited about my 30s. I don't know why, but 30 seems like it will be a good year! Maybe it is just where I am in life. I think I am a little more comfortable in my skin than when I was in my twenties. So, goodbye twenties...here I come thirties. (Be nice to me 30s!)

A day in which I need to rant...

Two separate times today I looked at people and said, "I can't." I very rarely have those words in my vocabulary. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed these days. School is hectic, okay...that's a euphemism. National Boards are due in less than a month. And in about a month I turn 30.

Is it possible to get a time out in life for a brief moment to pull oneself together?

History

There are a few moments in my life...that I will always remember. 

Two of them are probably the moments you will remember too!

9/11

Obama being sworn in

These will be moments that I will tell my kids about. 

Snow Day

There are 3 inches of snow on the ground in Raleigh. No school for me.

Today's agenda...

• Stay in pajamas
• Drink lots of coffee
• Watch Obama get sworn in
• Work on National Boards
• Laundry
  
• Dishes

:-)

A Little Change

Thought I would change the background for the new year...not sure if I like it yet.

2009

How do you start a year? I am full of hope. I tend to not make new years resolutions because they seem to always be broken after a few hours, days, or weeks. But I do like to reflect on where I was last year and where I am now in my life.

2009 will have several benchmark events for my family.

Mom will turn 60.
Kate will turn 25.
I will turn 30.
Lisa will be having her Jesus year. (she is turning 33).
I will be submitting my national boards. (I won't get the results until November).
We are having the first Schelbe Family Beach Blast.

I am looking forward to this year, what it will bring into my life...what it will take away from my life. The hope of a new beginning is like the first snowfall...everything is clean and white. It is truly majestic.

Here's to 2009 and what it brings to you and yours!
