I just got back from Fredericton. I found a place to live, so that’s one less thing to worry about.

I was somewhat startled when I got back and read the comment from the last entry. I gave it some thought. And while I certainly don’t know who the person was or the circumstances, it did give me pause for thought. Perhaps my blog entries are coming across in a whiny, complaining way. It does bear reflecting because while *I* know my tone when I write the entry, it may not come across in the way I intended. I’m certainly not whiny when I comment on my life, it’s more of a reflection tone where it is coming from. And I think anyone who actually knows me would agree with that. I don’t think it makes me any less of a person because I want some time to myself, even if it is time to just get housework or webwork done. However, it’s not like I’m moaning and groaning about my life, to the contrary actually. I certainly did take for granted my life before where I had another adult (Kevin) to share houswork with, to have an adult to talk to at dinner time. Someone to share with putting the kids to bed, that sort of thing. I never actually had time to myself then either. But when the workload is shared, it’s a different dynamic. That’s the sort of thing that can drain energy at times. I also certainly recognize that there are far many more people worse off than I am. I do hope it doesn’t seem like I am moaning and groaning about my life. It would be fair to say that I am happier in many ways than I have been in a very long time.

So, thank you for the comment albeit a tad harsh, it gave me a chance to reflect and I always enjoy the opportunity to reflect on my life.
