Starting Out

I never thought that I would be one to publish my thoughts to the World Wide Web, but lately some very interesting and just downright funny things have been happening that I believe others would be interested in hearing about. I am a 37 year old woman who is discovering that growing older is an adventure all its own.

I have come to a point in my life where I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. How weird is that? I have been working in the social work field for 18 years, and now I am finding that I want something different. Is this normal? Have I reached the mid-life crisis that I thought was reserved for:

1) Individuals in their 40's.
2) Men (Sorry guys, but society places you on the corner on that market)

I thought that a change in job would help until I interviewed with a 12 year old who would be my supervisor as a skin tag on my neck got snagged on my blouse. That was a defining moment for me. I finally realized that I am no longer what the world views as a "spring chicken". To compound the matter, I have become aware that I am no longer a "Miss" and have now established the "Ma'am" title. When did that happen, and why was I so blissfully ignorant to that transformation?

I want to explore photography. I have always had a passion for capturing the moment on film and more recently on the LCD screen, but now I would like to expand my hobby to something more substantial. I know that it will take work and paying my dues, but I am up for the challenge.

So, that is just some information to get started. Have a great day.
