Domestication

n. The process of becoming devoted to home duties and pleasures.(www.merriam-webster.com)
I'm slowly but surely about to reach thirty. Thirty used to sound like 80 to me, but the closer I get to that age, the more I realize that 30 can be my second prime. today i'm 29 and single, and not decidededly so. I have a few options, I could be depressed and moap around about it, I could go on a dating frenzy until I find that one, or I could find more things to do so that i'm so utterly busy that I don't even think about being single, try to be sickeningly optimistic and pretend to be fine with being single, or I could be angry and bitter, rebelling against the institution of marriage, telling people i'm single and childless by choice. It wouldn't be such a big deal if my biological clock weren't ticking. There's just one thing, I don't like any of those options, surely there's a way to be productive, patient, and virtuous in the meantime. I've sent my prayers up and I expect to be wed in due time, so I won't stress myself about it. Right now I think it's best to seek balance and nurture the gifts that God has given me, to get in shape, budget and prioritize, spend time with my family, go to church and bible study, take care of my home, (or to become domestic) but most of all take joy in those things. This blog is dedicated to chronicling my adventures of learning to become domestic. So i'll be cooking, cleaning, working out, learning the bible, fasting, learning about love and patience and posting my lessons, one by one, and hopefully soon, i'll be able to use these tools as a housewife/mother/working woman/diva. (LOL @ the diva part...just had to throw that in there).
