Do you feel this way......

I'm almost 50 and I have a supportive husband and 2 great kids. My dream was to have a built in pool and now I do. Whenever I start to feel like something is missing I remind myself, It's not having what you want that counts but wanting what you have.

I have often felt like I wanted to live life more fully, but I think that right now, I am the most satisfied with my life that I have ever been. I love being a wife and a mom, and I know that when the season of having little ones is over, then I'll find something else to do that I love (although, I'm sure, not as MUCH as I enjoy having little ones)
Not too long ago, I decided that I wanted more from life and I made health and fitness an important part of my life. My husband and I reinstated date nights. I found some new friends to hang out with. Etc.
Of course I'd love to be a famous singer or a piano virtuoso, but now is not the time for that (as if I could ever be...ha!)
What is it that you want to do, Anon? Like bungee jumping or something like that? Or just travel more, etc.?

im missing out! but hey im 23 years old and i have a lot of time to do what i want and just watch ill do EVERYthing that i want to do! but my kids and my husband will be apart of everything i want to see!

Cram so much in while you are alive? As opposed to when you are dead?

Not too long ago, I decided that I wanted more from life and I made health and fitness an important part of my life. My husband and I reinstated date nights. I found some new friends to hang out with. Etc. Nicely stated divakristi..............I need to do this. I think I don't feel satisfied because I am not satisfied with myself (as in body image). Also I need some more date type night for the hubby and I. My children are still pretty young (1 and 4) but it is time to do something for me. I want to finish school and move my career forward. That is a great question and one that gets me thinking!! THANK YOU

OP here, I would like to travel with my children, I dont want to do anything extreme.....right now:) I LOVE being with my beautiful children and I would love nothing more than to go have some grand adventures with them.....I love my life right now and I will love my life always because I have my two beautiful girls and a wonderful husband in it. I just want to add some fun and excitment more often I guess. I just dont want to take my life for granted, I realized that you never know when it's going to be over and I want to love harder, breath deeper, and laugh harder...ya know what I mean?

Yeah, I'm a damn slacker and I need to change before this place becomes a smoking hole in the ground.

I've been feeling like this for a long while now.. Being sick with health problems that no one can fix, they just put a band aid on it and hope for the best.. I wish I felt well enough to do more things with my daughter and husband.. I wish I could clean the house and still be able to play with my daughter. I just wish I could sleep more than an hour at a time and wake up without crying from the pain. I just want to be a normal woman.. I'm 38 and I feel 60...

Eh, depends on my day.

Halsmommy, I am so sorry about everything.....you sound like an extrordinary woman...*huggs*
