Tapestry of Life

A colleague of mine turned thirty today. I spent a few minutes thinking back on my thirties. Just because I’ve been there and I can. I thought of how I can sum up those ten years of my life? Well, I spent much energy on unhelpful thoughts. But. I traveled to Hungary, Zimbabwe, the UK, Australia. My daughter was born. We moved countries. I saw both my children start at school. I volunteered with reading groups. And eventually, at the age of 39.5, I harnessed all my unhelpful thoughts, and began to yarn them into poetry. My tapestry of life. Passion through poetry.

  1. You’ve been into a lot of countries….! They say that a person who often travel becomes more tolerant and cultured. And I agree with you, poetrybis like a yarn knitted together to create an artwork… Even if these are unhelpful thoughts! They are still the tapestry of life where words and thoughts are woven together.

  5. OH wow my 30s. Wow a lot happened for me too! I love that you wrote this. I had to stop and think my girl was born when I was 29 so at 30 I was quick heavy into taking care of her. My career started when I was in my mid-20s so I was rolling along there too! I love what you said about you spent energy on unhelpful thoughts. Girl I was doing unhelpful things and all over the place in my 30s. When I turned 40 I thought wisdom would overtake me. Like chase me down. NOPE! Never did! I can say now that at 51 I have wisdom but it came not easily but I wouldn’t change a thing! I didn’t like being younger. I always wanted to be older so people would listen to me! LOL silly reason I know! But here I am and here you are being your wonderful sweet self! 😀 Wonderful post!

    1. I love what you have written! Yes, I was also going unhelpful things and being all over the place, though I cannot write about it on a public forum! I keep on hoping maybe age will settle my heart and mind, I am now 41 turning 42. Thank you for sharing your experience, it is so encouraging for me xx

      1. OH my age does settle you heart and mind. I think lately I’ve been working on some healing in certain areas of the heart and that has calmed my mind more. I cannot say I’ve gotten it all beat but at least my mind is quieted. I’m thankful for that. I think you are doing a great job! Being a mom is not easy and then the rest of life happens hard to juggle. xx Hope you had a wonderful day! 😀 ❤
