Quotable Sunday ~Goals

My Angel turned 5 last week, and my baby boy turns 3 this week, where does the time go?

I have spent much time in the last few week reflecting on my own life and where I want to go in the future. It seems that the last five years have been a mix of daily survival and caring for the needs of small children, very normal and exactly the way I wanted these years to be!

I have come to the conclusion that now that my children are getting older, I must take some time to think about what I want to achieve over the next few years. An opportunity was dumped in my lap this week to do just that. I will keep you posted as to the outcome if and when it does happen.

I must now look to the future to be able to teach my children how to set their own goals and how to get on a path to achieve them.

I want to be able to look back someday and say, "I did make a difference." Whether is was to open the minds of people to think that a woman can do a good job, or whether it's the fact that so many kids out there think that they could be like me. ~ Antonia Novello

A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder. ~ Thomas Carlyle
