My son left for Australia yesterday. My heart aches with pain and emptiness!

My Life

“If life could take you anywhere”, she asked, “Where would you want to be?”

After a brief moment to reflect I answer, “Right where I am.”

Days later I asked myself, “Really? Do I really want to be here-just like this?

There is so much more that I could be living. So much more that I could be doing. Where then would I be?”

Life is busy… kids, husband, work, courses, cooking, cleaning… does it end?

 If it was all taken away, just like that, what then?

Reflection, appreciation, time to ponder… and think about what I am, who I am, where I am,

Or where I could be.

Is this my future? My destiny as I have designed?

I have the power of control. My hopes, dreams and visions are in sight.

“Yes.” I add with a grateful spirit, “Right where I am.”

Just writing a short memoir!
