Babeafacation

Well, I don't want to turn this into one of those "Daily drabble about me and my life" bloggs. I don't think it will be extremely exciting. Part of that I am sure is the fact that I will not admit defeat of my genuine purpose of exclaiming to the world my thoughts and feelings. It is not about me but about my place in the world. Ideally, we look at the past in order to make better choices in the future. The world is ever changing and we have to change with it. But we are all resistant to change. Our roots are firmly planted in one way or one place. It seems that staying grounded is a top priority. Man, we are old. As a kid, we don't even sit still let alone stay in one place. As a teen, we are invincible or invisible - depending on your high school experience. As a 20-something, we feel like we can do anything or go anywhere and have no desire to stay in one place long. Trust me on this, I have had over 15 roommates and moved 10 times.
Then marriage.... Now for those of you, who are not wed, don't freak out on me. These memories of our youth are great but we are now older and damn tired. We work harder than we ever worked. We are smarter than we ever were. We live more than we ever lived. We are more real and tangible then ever before. So, when it is time to "settle" down, remember it is not settling. It is a conscience choice, and educated choice, a need to fill and a path of existence in which we move forward, ever growing, ever changing, ever believing and ever loving.
