Life's Mission

Have you ever wondered if you've found your Life Mission?  We all have some reason to be where we're at.  But sometimes we're never sure we've found what our place is.  Each of our missions are different.  My friend at work, Helen, is the family caretaker.  She handles many aspects of her husband's care, along with those of his family.  (He's a disabled vet.)  And she knows that's her mission.  And it got me thinking about my own.





I've often said that one of the things I've been good at in my life is helping men become better men.  I think that all three of my ex husbands (yes, three!) were better men after we split up.  (I have always wondered if their current wives would agree with me! lol don't worry, I won't ask)





I've been doing some serious listening with my friend; from his side of the story, he's "stuck" and unhappy.  I've known him for years and I've known for a long time how unhappy he is.  But he doesn't seem ready for any major changes.  When he is, I'll be ready to listen more, and have some advice. Sadly, the one thing I know with ending relationships:  it hurts everyone involved, even the one who wants it to end.
