Really...What's Next

How do you decide what's really next for yourself? Not immediate future next, like the next sewing project but the next big step of your life? What if you make a mistake? What if you hate what you chose? Do you finish it out like you made the kids do when they committed to a sport or activity or do you cut bait? If you cut bait how do you justify it? God, why can't this be easy? Why don't I just know what comes next?

This angst-like feeling is partly because my kids don't need me like they used to. They're adults... young adults, but adults none-the-less. When do I transition out of mom mode? Is that ever possible? I don't want to be an icky too involved mom but I do want to be a part of their life. The good as well as the bad. Sigh. I'm gonna pull a Scarlett right now, "I'll think about it tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a better day."
