Look, so I am 40
I turned 40 yesterday. I don't feel any different. Things around me haven't changed just because I turned 40. Is this normal?
I will assume that it is. That turning 40 is a milestone because people aren't sure what else in life is considered a milestone. By 40 you should _________. Fill in your own blank. Don't let someone else tell you when something should be done by or should be done at all. We all mature at our own pace, we all learn and grow amour own pace, so why wouldn't we hit milestones at our own pace?
Things are changing for me and my family. Big changes. We will be moving to another state in less than a month. It isn't even a close state, it's 1600 mikes away from where we are now. Our weather will be changing. We will actually encounter all four seasons. My job is changing. My children are changing. They are growing up so fast.
I haven't hit any milestone, just becauseI turned 40 yesterday. My milestone is that I went out and found a position with a school and school district that want me for what I have to offer. They see what I can bring them. I have looked and have seen what they can offer me and what the move will offer my family. It is a good move. Now we have to get the mechanics of the move happening.
Find a house, pack, prep to move. There is so much to do. I don't want to do to mucho that we feel uncomfortable the rest of the time we are here, but I also do not want to wait until the last minute so that we are rushing to pack everything up.
My milestone, is a family milestone. We are starting a new chapter for us, all of us.
