What does it all mean?

[Alissa]

Sometimes I wonder what my place is in this world. There should be more than routine of living and just getting by. Outside of raising your child, which I know is the center of your life, your joy and pride, the reason you made some of your decisions and where it has taken you...How do single parents find meaning in their life

I've seem to have lost myself and find I cannot offer anything to anyone expect what I have put into raising my son and being stuck in same routine...finding that I don't have any time or not using my time wisely

What does it all mean?

Well, it means that you want to build more out of your life, in my mind. It means you have a piece of you that wants to experience more than just the same old, same old.

You might take a look at a book called "No Opportunity Wasted". I found it helped me see past the day to day and start making bigger dreams for myself -- and once I knew what they looked like, I was able to start working towards making them happen.

I'd caution on "dogging" yourself though. Look at what you have accomplished. That you *can* maintain a routine among a wide variety of challenges. That's pretty neat stuff! Good job!

I'll check into the book this weekend, maybe the library will have a copy.

Thanks for your words of encouragement
