Well since this is my first blog entry I figured I would start by telling you a little bit about where I'm coming from...first and foremost you should know that I'm a mom to a beautiful little girl that is the joy of my life. It's hard to imagine my life before she arrived. She is now 5 years old and is full of life in every way possible. She always keeps me on my toes and I love every second of it!
I am recently divorced, which I never thought would happen. I definitely didn't go into marriage thinking "I will give this a shot and see how it goes!" I truly and whole heartily thought it would be forever. This month would have been my 9 year anniversary, and in many ways it feels like the end of one chapter in my life but a new beginning to the next chapter and hopefully a better one. Scary as can be, but also very refreshing and liberating! Don't get me wrong there are definitely moments when I wish things could go back to when "times were good" but I try not to focus on that, and know that even better times are ahead of me.
I tend to look at life as each day is a fresh start...a new beginning of hopefully good times and good memories. My life has been filled with so many ups and downs but then again who's life hasn't right? Everyone has a story to tell of good times and bad, that to me is what makes life worth living. So many people ask me what my plans are now that my life has changed so much, but honestly I try not to plan my life out. I would honestly rather take it one step at a time and see where life takes me. Don't get me wrong I think it is very important to have goals and dreams...where would we be without them? Wandering souls trying to find our way in life right? I guess what I have learned most in life is call it God, fate, karma whatever you believe...life just has an amazing way of throwing curve balls at you! You think you have everything going in a certain direction, right on track as you might say...and BAM life throws you a curve ball. If your not ready for it, it will hit you upside the head!
To me life is a journey...a beautiful journey if you chose it to be. If you focus on the negative in life, you will miss out on all the positive and good in this world. Everyone goes through hard times, even life changing devastating times...and the way you survive and learn from them is all in how you perceive them. We all have moments of weakness, of depression, sadness and sorrow...but if we focus on those times instead of seeing the laughter or the joy, what is the real point of living?
Life has an amazing way of balancing itself out...the yin and yang of the world. If all we have in life is good, then we don't appreciate it and we often take it for granted. We have to have the bad or hard times in order to appreciate the good things in life! No matter what curve ball life throws at you, try to embrace it...find the good in it...and hopefully it wont smack you upside the head quite so hard.
