Welcome to the debut of my blog - "Mytidbitcorner.com". The purpose of this blog is to be cathartic for me and hopefully my friends and anyone else who comes along for this ride. The last couple of years have been a d-o-o-z-i-e for me. Define doozie however you want, but know that it is not a period I want to repeat in substance. I am hoping with the launching of this blog to give me the opportunity to show myself and others how to make the coming years better and more in line with what I (we) want out of life. The purpose of this blog is to help us collectively move to a better, more productive and enriching place in our lives. I've learned that in addition to raising kids, it also takes a village of collective knowledge to make us better individuals.
I did not grow up in the YouTube, My Space, Facebook and Twitter generation. So, do not expect to find the personal details of my life bared on this site for all to see. What you will find are re-printed articles, names of books, helpful information, inspirational and motivational sayings and anything else I find that I hope will be helpful in encouraging us to reach the next level in life; a positive level of living.
In this endeavor, I do not promise to always be politically correct (I did not grow up in that era either.) What I do promise, is not to be mean-spirited or cruel.
The Bible says there is a season for everything. I find this is a season of transition for me and a LOT of my friends. My circle of friends is approaching retirement or at least is closer to retirement than we are to the beginning of our career lives. Our children are trying to branch out to new levels of independency or have moved on completely. (Until they move back in, that is.) At the least, they do not need us to the extent that they did when we tended to their most minute everyday needs. Some of our parents have exchanged places with us, and now we find that we are their caregivers. For some of us, our parents have transitioned into eternity. Some of us who were once married are now without partners, albeit divorce or the passing of a loved one. Some may actually be back out on the dating scene and find that although we are older, the games people play are still the same. The players are simply older, balder, fatter, sicker, or just plain simple. (Told you I was not politically correct.) A friend recently told me that at this age, the men she tends to run into are either looking for a "nurse" or a "purse". I actually thought this observation was rather funny, although my husband seemed to miss the humor of this one entirely.
Get the gist of this blog?? We are in a season of transition, but I'm trying to get my bearings so that I land on my feet and subsequently in an excellent place.
I hope that you will join me in this endeavor by participating in the conversation. (Try to be nice. My feelings can get hurt also.) Feel free to submit inspirational articles or notify me of motivational workshops, Al Green concerts, etc.
While this blog may be the brainchild of one person, it can only be successful and beneficial to others through the collective contributions of many.
Spread the word. Tell your friends. And welcome!
Peace
Michele
