The Last Chapter (originally published June 25, 2013)


In case you’re wondering about my blog title, a few months ago, my (then) 17-year-old son informed me that since he was soon graduating from high school, I was now entering the last chapter of my life. Thanks a lot. My response was, “Where does that put my parents? The Epilogue? Index?” It’s great to have a teenager around to give you some perspective.
But, he’s right, in a sense. I’ve been a parent for 20 years, and now both of my children are adults, graduated, moving on with their lives. Hopefully there is more than one chapter left for me.
So, in the restlessness that I’ve been experiencing this summer as I’ve been re-evaluating my life, I’ve decided to start a blog. My life keeps moving forward, but I have to re-examine who I am. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, working part-time for 10 years. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be, what I want to do with my life.
We’ll see where I go with this. I expect I’ll do random posts on eclectic subjects – parenthood, children, literature, faith, and whippets. It’ll probably be like “shuffle” on my iPod, the way I like to play it – varied, mixed-up, never knowing what will come next.
