Here I am....

A blog. Why create a blog? I'm not really sure! I have always had a diary that I would periodically write in diligently in the first week of January and sporadically through out the year. Usually when things weren't going so great in life and I needed to get all the stuff that was in me out.
Then when I had my first child I kept a journal called "Mommy 101". As a record of my feelings of what this phase of life was like and something that I could pass to my daughter when she became a Mother.
From then on I have been pretty religious about keeping a diary/journal even if it was just scrawling a few lines of what I did that day and whether is was deemed a successful day or one that I would like to turn the page on.
Now I am 40 years old and 1 day. A new stage of life that I want to document...why? For me. For anyone who can relate. Simply to put perspective in and on my life.
I feel like I am facing a new direction in life. I am discovering who I want to be as I grow up. What is truly important and what will outlast me.
Life lays infront of me and I truly believe that I could do whatever I wanted!
What is it that I want?
I love taking care of my family, being the Mommy, the help-meet to my hubby, the CHEF (cooking is a new passion that I am thoroughly enjoying ) and all that goes along with raising four children (aged 16, 13,10 & 6) and running a home.
What gives me the greatest pleasure...blessing others! I have such a sense of fulfillment when I am able to bless someone. It can be feeding people, listening to a friend with a compassionate ear, or just a smile to a stranger! It is those moments that I have the greatest sense of peace. God smiling down on me saying, "Yep, Ang that is the moment I created you for."
So back to this blog thing....I really don't know. But then maybe I'm not meant to. At 40 I have learnt that I actually don't  know lots of reasons WHY but have the peace that this is what I am meant to be doing and that is enough for today.
Blessings!
