I have been thinking a lot lately about happiness.  My brother Mike is in town and he often asks me, "What are you going to do when you grow up?"  Well, not really that, but something like that.  It usually catches me off guard, because really, for now, I am doing exactly what I want to do.  I spent a good portion of my life going to school and working as a high school science teacher, but right now I'm with my family, and there is no place I'd rather be.  I already see them growing and leaving home to make their own lives, so I want to cherish these moments while here and not be worrying about what is next.  I am very lucky that I can be here with my family, and I thank God.  I was born to parents who loved each other very much.  We didn't have a lot, but I knew we loved each other and we were happy. My parents taught me that these bonds between humans, and family, were the most important things in life not things.  Now I have a lot of things, some might say I have too many things, but the most important things to me are my husband and my children, and my God. I am happy right where I am. I am not saying there is not room for change.  Life evolves, life changes, we change. What I am saying is I am happy with the evolution my life has taken by being a stay at home mom, as a young person I never thought I would say that, but I have evolved and I am happy with the course I choose to take.
