Grab-bag potential.

Call it mid-life crisis, but I'm having a "who-am-I -supposed-to-be"moment.  I feel like for the past 10 years, I have been going through the motions and haven't lived up to my potential.  I've been so focused on the kids, that I have lost sight of myself.  

The funny thing is, I'm afraid to see what my potential is.  One of my greatest fears is to be 80 and still going through the motions.  I think of my potential like a mystery grab-bag.  Maybe there is a diamond ring inside, but what if it's just a bunch of left over Halloween stickers and a spider ring?
