After he was born, I quickly discovered I felt the correct place for me to be was at home. I have no regret that I am not in that position now, but when I want to re-enter the workforce I will clearly feel the impact of the decision. My oldest is 3, and mostly people have complimented me on how I manage to raise two kids and work and stay mostly sane, but no one had ever come out plainly and said those words. I felt like somebody had just validated me as a worthy person, a status I had been chasing furiously since my first child was born, always finding myself not quite measuring up as a mother, a professional or a wife, or a daughter, sister or whatever. I believe that retirement should be the start of a new life that enables us to concentrate on restoring our health after a sedentary life at the office.
Dancing is more fun and has much more to recommend it.
