The Unaimed Arrow Never Misses

When I saw this saying, it was on a t-shirt in a shop. My shopping companion thought it was funny, but it irked me because I felt he lacked ambition, and didn't need that sort of encouragement. I'm not so grumpy anymore. But the saying has stuck with me and it's meaning has changed for me from "lacking ambition" to "being open to whatever comes along." I suppose you could say the unaimed arrow never hits it's intended target, and that's lacking ambition. But this unaimed arrow is just going where opportunity takes it. This blog, like probably most of them out there, is about nothing in particular. I think everyone, however humdrum their life seems to them, has a story to tell, you just have to tease it out.

I'm a 42 year old mother of a 5 month old girl. I'm married to a wonderful, amazing, supportive man. I spend my days working, eating and sleeping, like most of you. I started reading blogs some of my friends have started and find myself thinking about writing too. What a great way to keep in touch with people that you'd otherwise lose track of. This internet thing might really catch on someday.
