A Brand New (Rainy) Day

As the Countdown Clock continues to race toward forty I realize that the past seven years of just getting through the day and whatever mess has been created or landed in my lap will no longer do. Who wants to arrive at forty out of breath and depressed? I no longer want to feel like I am breaking off pieces of myself and feeding them to my children. I want to find a way to be whole without depriving everyone else.

Crazy idea being contemplated -- joining women only cycling adventure trip in Italy. Let's forget that I haven't been on a bike since I was 12. I have time to get in shape. So what if it is expensive -- it doesn't cost anymore than the kids' camps cost. If they go to "camp" why can't I?
