What's in a title?
I started this post last January at a moment when I had become very aware of what my new way of life was looking like, feeling like and quite frankly how I and others perceived it. I was on a run and as always, a myriad of things presented themselves to me. (my sister at this point would say, quit running so much!) Anyhow, here are a few, in no particular order:
1. Wow, it's November and I'm jogging in shorts and bra. I love it.
2. Holy Shit, I'm 49....when did that happen?
3. I wonder if I will ever go back to a real job?
4. What the hell is a real job anyhow?
5. Is this my new normal?
6. Peri menopause is a bitch..will I have insomnia now for the next 25 years?
7. I really want to age gracefully--what does that look like? It looks like Bernadette.
8. My heel hurts. WTF? What if this interferes with my Ironman training in 4 months?
9. I can't believe I signed up for an Ironman.
10. I love my life. Is this my new normal?
11. I wish everyone could have a version of this life.
12. Are you kidding me? Peri menopause (before menopause) can last 10 years?! I never had pimples when I was a teen-ager and I'm getting them now?
13. I would love to help women figure out how to, if necessary, regain control of their lives during this time. It's some crazy shit.
14. I found another golf ball. I'm up to like 4 now. Tyler is tripping out.
15. What am I gonna do when I finish my run? I've already worked my 4 hours today.
16. Is this my new normal? What is normal anyway? I never knew...
17. That would be a great name of a blog at this stage of life.
18. The (K)new Normal...I like it. Who knew?
19. But what is normal? I surely don't know and probably never knew.
20. I should change the title of my blog when I get home. Cool. I'm excited.
I did. I changed the title and the pics and there it stayed. My busy life obviously got in the way. As always, however, I am surprised and drawn back to writing. For someone who got C's and D's in English and subjects where I had to.. write, I still scratch my head at how much I think about this and enjoy it. That should tell me something. I should listen.
I had to finish this introductory post because there is so much I want to write about under the new title. Spiritual -Warrior- In- Training served me well. To be clear, I am still in training. I am slowly moving from infant to toddler. That means I fall down more as I attempt to walk, I am aware of my desire to explore and I will fall along the way. This is my new normal. I am blessed. I am grateful. I am owning it. Who knew?
