Re: Missus Laura :D!
Laura,
I agree with service taking you to another level...in one's humanity and all you mentioned. I have given much of my time, over the years. I saw what it did for me, what it does for me.
Although, at this moment in time...of my life...I have to be what others may call 'selfish' and commit to me...for now. I have to find the true meaning of MY life. I told a friend today, that I believe when we become so irritable (where there does not seem a way out of it) with our lives, it is because we are not on our path...whatever that means, to anyone. I do not believe there is only ONE path, nor do I believe there is only ONE person...'soulmate'...for anyone. I do believe though that when one is on the path that is right for them...whichever one it is...they feel contentment and that feeling as if 'they have come home'. I am in that search mode right now.
As well, my son will be 19 next Friday and he will be leaving home soon. I am becoming fully aware of realizing I do not know ME, the woman, the person, who is not HIS Mom. To find out who "she" is, I cannot be of service to others, at this moment in time (my new phrase :D).
Again, Laura, thank you for your confidence in me though!
