A decent life...

I'm going to make this short and simple.  Recently I got the chance to spend time with my grandmother, alone...so I asked her what advice she would give to me as a 28 year old woman...

A little background info, my grandmother was born in Petersburg VA, was "adopted" (not formally adopted, her mom left her with someone and never looked back), she grew up on a farm with a mom and dad who loved her to death.  Growing up my grandmother was a loner, and even though her parents loved her, she knew that she wasnt really "theirs". 

At 18 she made the decision that she was leaving.  She packed up one suitcase and was out.  Hitch hiked all the way to Boston & made a life for herself here.  I'm not going to go into all of the details of her story but she's had such an interesting and fulfilling life, I can honestly say that I am happy to be connected to her.

ANYWAYS...I always get off subject...the advice she gave me was pretty simple...always have control of yourself and of your life.  Once you lose control, your fate is in the hands of someone else, and who knows what they'll do with that.  If you want to do something, then DO IT...don't wait around for someone else or waiting around for someone else's approval.

Right now, I feel as if I do have control of my life, but not in the way that I want it.  Im at a decent place in life for 28...but....
Nevermind...but I guess the question to myself is, Since when is "decent" enough? actually why am I asking myself questions that I already know the answers to? Decent is not enough, its pretty much settling to be comfortable...
Time to wrap this up...
Night Night

I actually cant wait to share the jewlery I've been working on...its my new hobby, and I'm not good at it, but everything takes practice right? Pictures will be up soon. lol
