Is there something wrong?

Is the question of the week, have you ever felt like there was something wrong, or just not in sync with the cosmos of the world?

That is the way I have been feeling lately and I can't put my finger on what is making me feel this way, is it that summer is over and that I need some more sunshine?

Maybe that the days go by so fast, when I lye down in bed at night, I feel like I was just there?
I am feeling more and more that being a mom, is definitely a thankless job and someday when my children are 25 and have kids of their own or just find out how hard it is they will say, thanks mom, thanks for everything.....I mean everything. So maybe that's it, how do you fill your emotional bank account back up everyday, without going to the spa, to lunch and sitting in a book store in the travel section for a few hours?

When I used to fly full time, a lot of the time I would feel lonely, even with a plane full of passengers. And after taking a personality test telling me that type of job, as in constant change, not being around people, who know me or I know them, wasn't the best match for me.

My point being, that as a Mom, I sometimes feel lonely, do my kids know me, will they come to appreciate what I do and what others do for them? Will they be grateful for the blessings in their lives? Will they be grateful for everything they have been given. And I mean life, freedom, education, happiness?

I used to work in care center with handicapped adults and I remember at the age of 16 being so thankful that I could breath, walk, talk. Does it take a long time to become grateful? does it take a long time not to take things for granted?
I sit here wondering do I take things for granted? how do I show that I am thankful?

So that is the question for me? do I? and if I do, what should I do different tomorrow?
