Dear readers, I have a request of you.
I have decided â rather late in the game, I admit â to try to make the most of my time without kids. I have been focusing so much energy in the last year-and-a-half on trying to have a baby, and mourning the fact that I have no baby, that I have not been fully appreciating the time I currently have. I’m only lately realizing the tragedy of this fact.
I am realizing that every stage of life is sacred and shouldn’t be taken for granted. I know that there are certain freedoms that I have now, while I don’t have any little ones depending on me, that I may lose if I become a parent. So that’s why I’m asking for your help. Could you take a few moments to answer these questions, and help me to carpe me some diem while I have the chance? Yes, I am using my blog to be completely self-serving.
If you currently have kids:
What are you glad you did before you had children, or what do you wish you had done before the munchkins arrived?
If you’ve never had kids:
What are you currently doing to make the most of your childless years? Or what do you hope/plan to do before you become a parent?
What do you think I should do? My passions including writing, theology, history, language, natural living and nutrition, DIY, cooking, garden gnomes and the outdoors. What should I be doing?? Where should I be going? What should I be reading?
Thanks so much in advance. Any advice will be very much appreciated.
