Lying Awake

So...today was an eventful day. I woke up to begin a new year by picking up the best thing in my life right now...my nephew. He rubbed his eyes and tried to figure out who was picking him up by probing my face with his eyes and hands. After playing with him for a while, having breakfast and my coffee, I began to help my sister around her house. I did odd and end things that my sister, a new mom, doesn't really have the time to do anymore. We ran errands, bought groceries and made dinner. Somewhere in there, I even had time to give Sawyer a bath and watch him grin as mystery bubbles rose from the water (wonder what that could be?). This is where I am the happiest. I love spending time with my family and really feeling like I am being a key part of Sawyer's life. Too bad I am still living in another city where I attended college.

After graduation in May of this year, I would think that by now my life would be a little different. Don't get me wrong...I love my life and the people in it. Family just means so much to me that sometimes being away from them is harder than one would think. As I sad in a previous post, I am waiting for that "real, big girl job" to come my way. I guess what I am saying is...I am at a stand still in my life. I know I am young and it should be just beginning, but that first step is proving to be a little harder than expected.

Keep on keeping on...that's all there is to do. Just live one day at a time and look towards tomorrow.
