Today is one of the days where I am feeling slightly edgy about just about anything. Not sure what is going on. I think I could use a vacation, but then again, running away isn't going to change what is wrong with this feeling I have today. I should be grateful for all of the blessings in my life, but I am stuck in this crazy spot. Full of anger and frustration.
It doesn't help that I have my children with their children living with me. Nor does it help when it comes to this stage of my life when I should be enjoying an empty nest syndrome. You know it is not for us in our time of life to experience the same thing our parents experienced. The century is different, the decade is different and the age of the american dream has all but disappeared. The economy is struggling and our young people are graduating with 4 year degrees and no real possibilities in getting jobs in their field of study. Instead they are getting jobs that require them to be away from their families and away from the opportunity of the American dream. It is scary to think that we actually are moving back toward the home grown family of the prairie days, where we all chipped in to support.
It seems like just a moment ago there was a dream! Did I blink?
