Welcome to the Real World

Do you ever have those moments when the reality of your life really hits you? You know, those moments when you suddenly say "Wow, I am an adult - when did this happen." For example, the other day, my darling cousin Hannah asked why she had to do something. Without thinking I replied Because I'm the adult and I said so . As soon as the words left my mouth I wondered - when did I become my parents.

Another example :

For the past week I have been in Atlanta training with my new company. Halfway through my first day, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a hallway mirror. The image startled me - was I really wearing the crisply pressed suit, lightly starched blouse, pantyhouse and smart looking heels. I actually looked the part of a professional and then the light went on, I am a professional now.

Somewhere in the last few months, I went to sleep as a 23-year old kid - still living the life of a college undergrad. And now I've awaken a 23-year old adult complete with career and responsibilities. Who knew it would happen?

The picture was a bit scary,huh!!!!! Welcome to the real world, however, no doubt you will be successful in whatevermcome your way. I know because you do not like to be second to anyone or anything. I think I know who taught you that trait or shall i say learned behavior. Love you 2-5
