I wish you and your loved ones loads of health ahead. I can absolutely relate just how scary this is.

(i've decided that might be a uniquely American quandary, so maybe we're just more "citizens of the world" sorts.) and i'm so sorry that your parents are struggling with their health. <br /><br />i will wish you a different kind of rapture. where everything is okay even when it isn't.patresa hartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225877848092404155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005249090549075026.post-56437528939519252502011-05-22T09:44:00.203-05:002011-05-22T09:44:00.203-05:00John, I also don't know what I want to do when...John, I also don't know what I want to do when I grow up....in fact I have pretty much decided growing up in general doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun. And even though I have what could be classified as a career, and I like my job just fine, I hate it when people ask me what I "do". I always ask them to clarify "you mean what do I do for money or what do I do in real life?" <br /><br />As for your call for advice, well, I am in no position to advise anyone on their deepest psyche, but I will say that you could practice making a conscious choice to just be OK with it. Maybe make a list of the top 10 things you are most grateful for in your life and look at it when the inner critic starts chewing on your brain. And remind yourself of it in the morning when you wake up and at night as you are drifting off to sleep. And maybe, cut yourself some slack, man! You've had a tough time lately. Give yourself some energy to process that, and to handle your current stresses without losing it. You would put (and are doing so) your goals and big giant to-do list on hold to take care of someone else during a hard time in their life. It's OK to do that to take care of yourself, too. :-)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721357125653158415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005249090549075026.post-86547243844784546512011-05-22T08:00:39.807-05:002011-05-22T08:00:39.807-05:00I really enjoyed reading this and could relate to ...I really enjoyed reading this and could relate to the feeling of being past the age we're "supposed" to have figured out what we want to do with our lives while not really having it nailed down. I played in bands into my thirties only to find myself pregnant and finished with the band lifestyle at 34. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to accomplish the stuff I want to accomplish.<br /><br />Great, thoughtful post, John.Tawnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188683676180842751noreply@blogger.com
