Today was the beginning of a new way of life for me. I feel blessed to have been able to quit my job, and for the time being, focus on being a wife and a homemaker. When I was younger, I dreamed of myself in an office somewhere, in a business suit, writing for some famous magazine. Living in the city, I pictured myself alone, reading the newspaper and drinking coffee in the mornings.
Funny thing is, I hate reading the newspaper. I hate drinking coffee, and my internship at The New London Day was one of the most boring jobs I've ever had (and not been paid for) in my life.
Needless to say, I find myself continually surprised at the things that do bring me joy: going to the grocery store, planning meals to enjoy with my husband, hanging out with the Dog and the cat, and finding a few moments to share some of these restless thoughts on my blog.
Thank you Lord for changing us into the people that you want us to be, and not the people that we once naively thought we would like to become. What's next for me? I'm really not sure, but the wide open door feels like a breath of fresh air that I can't get enough of.

God bless you, honey. It's so nice being right where God wants you. This is my 28th year of being a wife and homemaker, and I'm still loving it. I'm looking forward to having you around a bit more! I love you. MIL
