Now What?

We live life in constant expectation…the first day of high school, the first job, college, the first “real world”, a house, kids.

This past weekend as I went to NYC to attend my sister’s engagement and also meet 3 of the most adorable babies you’ll ever see (pics) a thought crossed my mind.  Once your there…at the awesome accomplishments life…even more questions arise.  Life’s checkpoints lead to more questions than the one answered.  My sister’s engaged, officially in a relationship…now what?…a year’s worth of planning for a wedding and a move to NYC.  My nieces whose parents have such profound hopes and desires for their kids…they don’t look far into the future…their concerns, hopes, dreams are for the here and now….They want to see their kids walk on their own, speak, and grow to be healthy children.

Now What?  Is a beautiful question to have.  Life is all too often a search for answers, but this weekend I learned to look forward to questions.
