I hate it when people ask me "what's new?" because I never have anything exciting to say. I totally understand the question, and it's a great way to get the conversation going, but I really don't do anything exciting in direct relation to myself.
Most of my answers revolve around my daughter.
"B keeps me entertained with ballet"
"B keeps me busy with school and helping out"
"We had a playdate the other day"
Yup, almost all relates directly to her. Times like that make me think I need to do more for me.
I have a guitar here that is not being played. It should be. I have a language book on my self begging to be learned. It should be. I have ideas in my head and on paper that are wanting to be expanded. They should be.
And when I do that all, I will be able to tell you something exciting next time I'm asked "what's new?".
One day, I WILL say one (hopefully all) of these as a reply.
"I can speak Italian"
"I'm much better at the guitar"
"I finished writing my book"
Kids are the greatest achievement we can obtain. Don't rethink that for a second.
