I'm Here, Now What?

I have decided to start this blog to assist me in making life changes. It was either a blog or journal so I thought by blogging I could share my experience and perhaps get feedback from others. To know others may actually read this not only makes my thoughts of attempting to make life altering changes more real but puts a certain level of guilt if I dont put a serious effort towards my goals. The new year is approaching and as with numerous others I have been thinking about ways to improve myself, my life. I am choosing not to label my changes as resolutions because I know me and I have never in my 42 years followed through with a New Years resolution. That is how I came up with the name for my blog, Phase Three. I view phase I as pre marriage and pre children, phase II marriage, children, divorce, marriage (this one didn't really count as a marriage in my mind) and back with husband #1. Don't even try to figure that out, way to much to explain now, I'll explain at a later time. So now I am approaching phase III. Phase III is when I woke up realizing that theses babies that I have spent every ounce of energy to raise are practically grown, going off to college, graduating from college, they just don't need me the way they used to. Now don't get me wrong, I am not boo hooing about this, I am looking forward to this third phase in my life, which has lead me to this self analysis and knowing what changes need to be made. I can only hope that I will accomplish my goals.
