An old friend make me think

What would my younger self think of me now?

Would I be impressed with the life I have created or dissappnted at how traditional my life appears.

I am smart, I graduated highschool in three years, graduated with honers from college, I  have my MBA and I stay home with my kids.

I worked 55 hours a week in my previous life. That career path would not work in my current life nor would it feed my soul.

So I chase my kids in heels. On occasion I wear an apron. I bake cookies and carpool. Some days it is more then enough an others it is not nearly enough.

I coach running to young girls, I am president of my parents club. I am a runner, a friend, a wife, a mom.  I have a lot of roles.

My friends and I have happy hour in the back yard.  The kids play while we cocktail and have adult conversation.  It is a far cry from the happy hours of my younger self, but I look forward to it all the same. 

I don't know what my younger self would think about my life but my heart and my days full. 

I don't know what my future self will say about this time in my life but for now it is working for me.

What would your younger self say about you now?
