I was just an infant when The Who first blasted out the song “The Seeker” in 1971.  Okay, I was a toddler if you want to get picky.  PLEASE don’t do the math!  The point is, no matter when it was written and first performed, the song could easily be the anthem of my life.  I was, am and will probably always remain a “seeker”.

I am always searching….searching for something that, to this point, has remained elusive.  Around every corner I assume there is a BBD (bigger, better deal).  That true happiness, satisfaction, contentment, will all be mine if I continue to try new things, never slow down, and basically work myself into a frazzle in an often purposeless pursuit of some ideal.  But the ideal what?  That’s the question I pose to you, my fellow seekers….what is it we’re seeking anyway?

As I mentioned, this “seek and ye shall find” mentality is an inherent part of my personality.  But I believe it has been exacerbated by both my life circumstances and my decision to become a stay at home mother after my first child was born.
