I'm a turkey baby...born on Thanksgiving Day...and today I turn 44. When I give thought to my life I'm brought to tears...both the good kind and the bad. I'm reminded of all the things I've done in my life and I'm smiling silly. I've made some incredible memories and I have laughed till it hurt. I have met some amazing people I'm thankful to call friends. I'm blessed to be a mom to wonderful young woman and I'm so proud of her. When I think of my daughter I'm filled with love. I'm blessed to have the love and support of my family and without them I wouldn't be here today.
And then the bad sets in a bit. I'm not where I wanted to be at this stage of my life. I was on my way there and I got hurt...and things changed dramatically for me. Although I'm not where I thought I would be... I have to acknowledge I'm not where I was either...I've come a long way. Some days I still have a hard time accepting this life of mine now and I want my old life back, but I know too I wouldn't be who I am today without having gone through it all. There is some appreciation now and I know I've grown because of it. I have no clue where I'll end up, but I know I'm still walking my journey...healing as I go.
I may not know where I'm going...but I'm still going...and although I'm scared...I'm doing it anyway...one day at a time and one step at a time. With excitement and trepidation too...I move into a new chapter of my life and I promise myself that I will always do the best that I can each and every day...I promise myself to be accepting and loving to myself on the days when I can't...I promise myself to do what I need for me...and I promise to love myself and to accept all that I am...I am enough.
Thank you for being a part of my journey.
