life is almost good - Welcome!

Evie feeling all the way good.

So you’ve wandered into my blog. Welcome! I’m glad to have you. What was that line in Hotel California? You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave? Muahahaha….

Just kidding.

My name is Lindee. I am thirty-one years old. I have a husband, who we will call J. He is wonderful. J and I have two sons. J.M. is eleven and R is eight. We also have two dogs, Oliver and Eve, and two cats, Hermione and Rose.

I am currently an Administrative Manager at a small but mighty accounting firm. That journey is coming to an end soon, after nearly five years. (You’ll hear more about this in my next blog post called The Times They Are A-Changin'

You see, I was almost good at it.

At age 31, I have only just found what I’m all the way good at. That’s why I’m here.

My almost good story begins in high school. I was quite awkward and though I had plenty of friends, I wouldn’t really say I belonged with any particular group.

I was almost good at choir. Almost. I couldn’t dance. I wasn’t even almost good at that. I was almost a good vocalist. I was good enough to win medals in individual competitions, but I wasn’t really good enough for solos, leads, or to really make a difference in the choir. Others were so much better.

I was almost good at school work. I just kind of skated by. I almost did good in all of my classes and almost did good in my clubs.

I was almost good at college. But because I wasn’t really good at it, I dropped out.

I met J shortly after that. We fell hard and fast and were married within months. Naturally, everyone thought we were crazy. Too young, too foolish and with no experience in the real world. They were totally right, by the way. But we made it work.

Thirteen years later, life is almost good.

I’m here to tell you stories of my journey as an almost good wife, an almost good mom, an almost good friend, daughter, employee, cook, and the many other things I’m almost good at.

The reasons I’ve decided to make a public blog out of my stories are:

A) My good friend ES said I should, and she is an incredibly influential person in my life.

B) I have heard many friends talk about feeling the same way and we can chat about that here!

C) Compassion, talking, writing, and listening are things I am good at, and it is time for me to make a life out of something I am all the way good at.

What are you all the way good at? What do you wish you were all the way good at?

Thank you for reading. I hope you will come back again soon.
