Comfort Zones

This definitely is NOT in my comfort zone, putting myself out here for all the world to see. But, that is exactly why I am doing this, to open myself up to new experiences, new ideas and new ways of thinking.  You see, I am kind of....hmmm, rigid is not quite the right word, let's say routine oriented. I don't know if it is the German/Swiss heritage or being a Capricorn that makes me that way. I don't mind change, if it comes slowly and I can be spontaneous and spur of the moment....but with 4 or 5 hrs. notice (24hrs. would be even better).

My world is changing, my son is graduating from high school in May, and will be starting college next year. Even though he will be living at home while going to college, his world is expanding and he is exploring his own world now and parts of that world won't include me. That is a good thing, he needs to be confident and independent.

But that leaves me.....as a single parent I have focused all my energy and time into raising my son, and now I need to find my way back to my own life.  With this blog I hope to take you along on my ride. I want to tell you about my new experiences, memories, funny and sad times. 

But you can rest assured that bungee jumping.....eating fried bugs.....and getting multiple piercings will never, ever be in my comfort zone......ever.......ever......

Later, Kat
