And so tomorrow is the beginning of a new school year. Cara is out on her own now. Alyssa has started her sophomore year of college. Alex will begin his last year of middle school. For some reason, it is not the first observation, but the last that seems to be causing me great consternation tonight. I have felt unsettled and all the unsettling things about life, of which we all have many, have become magnified tonight and I have been feeling anxious about the future.
Next year at this time my baby will be starting high school....and those years just fly....and then what? I don't know the answers, there is no possible way for me to ever know what lies ahead. So I will take a deep breath,and go make his lunch and look at him lovingly as he lays down tonight. I can almost assure you that when I try to get him up tomorrow morning, there will be no loving looks.
So....I will take one step at a time and enjoy the moments and the people that are put in my path. Onward into the unknown that is this year. I have faith that it will be a good one for us all. I pray that it will be a good one for all of you!!
"Forward momentum. That's my new motto. No regrets. And no going back."
