Knowing who I am

Do you ever wonder who you are? Maybe it is because I am now 46 but as I get older, I question who I am. I know I am getting older. My body has made a few changes in the past few years but I still feel that inside I am the 16 year old I was back in the 70's. Maybe a lot wiser and less tolerant. I cant explain it. I keep trying to figure out if I am happy with what I am doing or if I should make some changes to my life. I suppose I should leave well enough alone as many changes have been made for me whether I like it or not.( I am going to be a grandmother. Tom and I have an empty nest as all our girls are in college or married and working.) I am older in what a lot referr to as midlife. But who knows if this is midlife for me. I may be gone next week from this world. Then my midlife would have been 23. Or I could live as long as my parents who are 85, in which case their midlife is so far 421/2. Who knows but God. I just know that some days I really love my life and some days I wonder if I should be doing something else with my life. Mainly my job. I have spent the last 13 years working at a chiropractic office. I have learned everything there and I have a lot of flexibility. But some days I am tired of it and wish for something a little more exciting or just different. I dont know if anyone else has felt like this. What should I do? Mainly I pray and ask God for direction. I only want to please Him, and so far He hasnt shown me anywhere else to go. So for now. I know that I am Sharon and I am an office manager for the chiropractors. And I am loved by my family. I think that is enough for me. At least today.

Baby Girl

I havent posted in awhile but it just seems like there is not too much to write. I am in the winter blahs.Except for the one bright spot in the past few weeks. I do have news about my grandchild. It is a GIRL! I am in shock. I was so sure that it was going to be a boy you could have blown me over with a feather. I am very excited and anxiously awaiting to hold the sweet little girl. Her name is Olivia Grace. We are really having fun looking at baby things now and little cute dresses and outfits. I pulled all my baby things out of the attic and washed them up for Sheila. Some are outdated but some will be very useful and cute on Olivia. This sure is a new season of our lives and we are excited!
