Connecting the Dots
Sometimes I feel out of control. I don't know where we will be living in a year or two, I don't know how many children I will have, I don't know when my husband will be home from this deployment or when he will leave on a future deployment. I don't know when I will go back to work. I don't know what tomorrow brings. I don't always understand why bad things happen to good people.
What I do know, is that when I look back on my life, things will come into focus. The dots will connect. I have faith that as long as I can keep approaching my opportunities with a positive outlook and with compassion and honesty that I will be proud of my life. That the picture I have created and will continue to create with the many different points in my life will be beautiful.
Thank you Steve Jobs for your innovation, your wise words, and your vision. You once said that you wanted to "put a ding in the universe". I think you did.

Hi, I'm Jill!
Extrovert. Mom of two. Wife of a cute Naval Aviator. Lover of wine. When I'm not chasing my two kids around town you will find me writing, taking too many photos, and researching the ten future areas the Navy could potentially (but probably won't) PCS us. We are fish out of water, landlocked at 7,000 feet. For now.

That's a great quote. I need to steal it. :)
I think even when you think you know, you don't really. When DH separated from the military I figured I'd get my teaching degree, find a teaching job, have a few kids and live Happily Ever After. It has not exactly worked out that way.
(PS. In case you are wondering where I came from- tcoyf.)
