Reflecting.....the difference a year makes.

Last year at this time, my world was flipped upside down, inside out, and shaken until it was empty.  The good news is that, it did not beat me.  Here is what I have learned.  When you get knocked down, you have to get right back up or you will be devoured.  Always trust your gut, no matter what you want to believe, you guts knows the truth.  I learned that I am way tougher than I ever thought I was, and I am glad that I now know this.  It makes life a lot easier not putting up with crap from other people.  I have learned not to give anyone any power because it will be used against you.

What I am taking forward with me from here.  I will do whatever I have to do for my children.  They are my life, and no one is going to mess with them or me ever!  I have always put my children first, and they know what I do for them so I sleep well at night knowing this.  They are so awesome, and they deserve nothing less than the best.

Life is tough but I am tougher, and I prove that to myself every day.  Going through hard times changes a person.  Believe me, I know!  I am not the same person I was so in a way, I am grateful I had the opportunity to find out more about me.  Never look back, you are not going that way!
