What now?
That is a question I ask on a daily, if not hourly basis. The phrase "what now?" encompasses so many emotions and situations. For example, when cooking dinner and you hear a strange crash followed by a hurried whisper, "Don't tell mom." I use the phrase to brace myself for what I will find in the next room over.
Or when you driving down the road, in a mad rush to get the kids to school and you hear in the back, OH NO..... I ask "What now?", knowing full well that someone left something important at home and I am now going to be late to work.
When my husband calls from the Firehouse and begins, "Don't watch the news tonight. I am ok." My heart stops and I ask him, What now? in the calmest voice I can manage. I never know what will follow that question, but life is more interesting with it.
My name is Jenee' Rossum. I am a 35-year-old wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and the list goes on. I have never been much of a writer, but I feel like I want to document what is going on today. My past is my story, and my future isn't written yet. I know that today there are challenges that weren't there 6 months ago and it shows me how quickly things can change.
I don't know what is coming next, but I just want to be ready for it when it happens. So I am asking myself, "What now?" Bracing myself for the next few months and all the changes that come with the shift that has happened in the world. I hope you can find yourself a brace.
