Choices In Life!

Who says growing up is fun? I could see why they would say that. Life just goes by so fast though. Like I said in previous posts, I have five kids, and the youngest are now four years old. I have found that they are to start Pre-K on Friday and that is great news. It could also mean bad news. Why you ask? They are my youngest and I am not having any more kids in the future, so this would mean that I am either getting old or my kids are getting older. Oh, wait! Both statements are true! (wink) It is just hard to see your kids grow up so fast. Yet, at the same time, it is a wonderful thing to watch happen. You get to watch them grow up and make their own choices. I know it's just pre-k but I also have older kids. They will soon be making hard choices in life that will sometimes be hard for them to make. I will be there to help guide them but I can not be there to make the choices. Sooner or later kids will find out that the path they are taking will lead them somewhere. I hope that the path my children take will be a good one. But what am I kidding. I know that not everyone will choose the right path. I am one of those. I have learned so much in life for making the wrong turns. I can't tell someone to live their own life, when in fact, the way they go about living it will only benefit them in the long run.

This not only goes out to kids in life but as well as the adults who have not found out what they want in life yet. Those who are still taking corners and following another person's path they are taking. No one can tell you who are so make sure you don't let them. If you are making a mistake then make it. That is the only way you will be able to find out by yourself why it was a bad choice. There are times in life when the bad choices you have made actually turn out to be the right choice. Whatever comes your way take it and learn from it though. Don;t let it get you down in life. If you do, it will only hurt you.

I have seemed to stray away from the reason I am writing this. There are so many things that I want to say. I will miss my kids when they start pre-k. I will fill alone at home. I loved spending the time to get to know each of my children. They all have so many different aspects in life and they bring so much joy to mine. Yeah I am not the best mom in the world. (Far from it) But I am in their eyes. Everyday my kids get older and all I can see is them graduating and leaving later. That is part of life. So in the time being I am just going to take it day-by-day and enjoy who they are now. They don't have to make hard choices yet. That is my job right now to do for them.

Now back to adults! LOL. My sister is getting married and I am happy for her. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea but again it's her life. Maybe it is a great choice. Maybe it is a bad choice. But that is it. It is the choice that she needs to make and find out the results in the end. Everyone told me that I made a bad choice when I got pregnant without being married and with the wrong man. I understand that now. But if you asked me if I would change anything in life. NO. My kids would not be here and I would not be me. They say that I made a bad choice with who I married. Yes! At time I would agree. But I am happy. A marriage is more than a paper to me. And if my husband and myself can make it through everything we have been through so far in life, then there is nothing we can't get through. So I would not have to call it a bad choice more so than a learning experience.

Let me end this by saying that I enjoy life. So should you. If you are going through something bad right now then you can always change it by leading to another path. We were not meant to take one path in life. That is why we have the option to change things. If you are not happy then change it. Give someone else the knowledge that you are learned from your mistakes in life so that way they have more to think about. Live everyday for what it is. A new day!
