I know what you're thinking...
"Ummm....where's the bight n' sunshiney part?"
Here it is....I've made it to 35 ya'll!! I've been through allot of stuff and I made it out alive!
All that list up there, the parts that I'm not happy about, I can change. The parts I can't, I can accept and be thankful for.
I started this blog for myself, mostly. I wanted to document this person I'm becoming. I've been aware that I EVERYDAY I have something to be thankful for. That if I let that feeling of thankfulness wash over me, it would bring me to tears. I've almost ruined my life several times. Unsafe decisions when I was a child, terrible relationships that I was playing out over and over, increasing in their terribleness and just plain hating myself. Those things are a part of me but they're in my past now. I am moving forward.
Here's my top 5 thankful list today...
1. I turned 35 this year and I've never been happier, I know myself better and I have started to take accountability for my life and it's direction.
2. I have a wonderful husband that I am madly in love with. Through taking an honest look at myself I became open to someone I never thought I would deserve.
3. I have 2 beautiful, healthy children. It's been difficult at times and new challenges appear every day but I love the people they're becoming.
4. I have been exercising the past 3 weeks, consistently. I feel better and I feel good about the action that I've taken.
5. I started a blog today! I've been wanting to do it for a long time and I just did it!
Today is going to be a fantastic day!
