Knowing myself!

Within the literature I dive in every day, I tend to discover a new me! From the way I perceive data, and compile it in my processor, oops, I mean brain, I tend to understand more, how it operates!
I am more of a I0 person, yet I need to express and elaborate myself alongside my logical way of thinking. 
For me usually things are either black or white, yet I am beginning to notice some gray, lately! At the age of 44, I should admit, I am surprising my younger self! It is all about expectations I guess! It seems I had very low expectations that I am capable of diverting my expected longterm track ( a wife, mom, part-time educator & artist) into a more complex unexpected track ( a wife, mom, MEd student, Graduate Assitant, students' association leader, and a researcher).
Trying to build the habit of being a researcher, gave me a new dimension of myself to discover! the way I see things, reflect on them, and understand them, is progressing and evolving in a form that I am loving more and more every day. My only concern now is that I need to keep in my consideration, how important it is to come up with practical solutions from my researching, instead of more theories buried in piles of papers.
I am loving the new me! yet I feel so scared of being able to keep going! Within this new adventure, I discovered how unprepared I was! how important it should have been for me to take care of my well being! the accumulation of life has made me so tired, physically and mentally, and the slightest turbulence is just like an earthquake for me, now!
If I had the chance to make some choices again in my life, I would have made sure to be more athletic, and give myself more time to rest and focus on my mental wellness.

I know! It is never too late,,, that is why I am taking my baby steps towards re-building my body and mental health again to be able to serve me during my new adventure.
