What do I do when I am alone?
There is work, which is sporadic - but should be more consistent. For that I write. Before I can write, I research. My last project which is just winding down was an incredible learning experience. I was involved from the start. I designed the course and was part of the client discovery sessions. I scripted, had a photo shoot, and chose all of the elements that made up the course. I proofed it once created and now I await to see the final product. Very thrilling, and way more work than I will get paid for.
I really should take care of the business accounting more frequently. Going through receipts and doing a year's worth of balancing the books should not be done in the few weeks before your taxes are due. I always say I won't let it happen again this year. We'll see.
I volunteer. I should be in my daughter's class every week, but that has weened and I don't go at all right now. That should change. Without that, I am still in school for trips, activities (yes, yesterday I was a scientist) and parent council.
I research my family history. For the last few years I have been intrigued with our families. Amazingly we have found family on all sides going back 5 generations. My husband's father has a complicated family history which left him - understandably - with no interest in his biological family other than his siblings. We knew nothing. It's crazy. I have found hundreds of relations and we are not done. We found out that people we have known over the past 20 years - I mean more than a few, are second cousins. It is amazing to find out about where you come from. It is awesome to find new relations. It is really special to find live ones who care.
Lastly, there is kickboxing; a weekly refuge for me. I am not really alone - I have a partner for this and it is a group class. Despite this, the sixty minutes kicking, punching and stretching beyond what I thought I was capable of, reminds me that I am capable of so much more than I let myself believe. As I write this - it comes to me. I can do whatever I want to do. It may sound cliched - but I really believe that if you find what you love to do - you will be successful at it. I'll get there.
