No more adjectives, just verbs...

"I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish
the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly
find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before
you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about."Agatha Christie (1890-1976)

I had just finished posting a blog at blogspot.com, and on my page, I have a gidget called, "Quotations of the Day". This quote by Agatha Christie motivated me. I hope that I'm able to make it through this part of life; raising kids, finishing my degree, being financially able/stable, so that I can enjoy the second chapter in my life.
I believe that most people live to see 100, and for me, this means that by age 25, they've lived a quarter of their life. Then by age 50, they've lived half their life. I'm a quarter of a way to 50.

I need to make sure I take good care of my mind, body, and soul.
I may not have a degree yet, but I plan to before I turn 35, so that my children will have an excuse to get a degree, too.

Children are a blessing, and it's really hard to raise children when all you're working with is what you naturally have; a conscience and innate desire to nurture them til death comes. The intention here is to raise my children to be respectful of themselves, and others. To seek out the good, and be weary of the bad. Be mindful to seniors/children alike. To make a commitment to ensure their understanding of their classroom curriculum, so that they will be very prepared to excel in a Higher Education. To try their best to succeed, and to remember that it's okay to fail, as long as they know they gave it their very BEST.

Most importantly, to have faith in themselves, and to not be afraid to love, or show affection.

I want all this for my children, and more. I've lived long enough to know that these "things" do matter in one's life. If I've been shortchanged, it's because my own parents did not know any better, which led me to "not know any better".

None of this will do my children any justice, if I do not implement plans now, and take action. The latter is the harder part.

To take action means to actually do what ever it is that is intended to be done. Funny. The world wide web is an interesting place. I Googled, " to take action", and found this blog

Now, because of my great passion of writing it out and doing the research, I've found a nice blog to help me through today.

Cool.
