Growing..........

Yes, here I am, about to turn "The Big 5-0" as they call it, and I still have so much growing up to do. There's so much still to learn. Somehow, I naively thought I 'd have life all figured out by this point in my life. I'm not even close. The more I try to find peace in my life, the more conflict seems to find me. Maybe that's how it works. As you try to find peace and fix old wrongs, things get rough, who really knows, but hopefully, it will all pass. To 'celebrate' my big momentous birthday, I decided to return to school, and have made the Dean's list in my first grading period-just a little "yay, me." As for who I am, still figuring that out too. I know this much, I believe in God, I believe we should all try to listen to that little voice in our head that says "this is right, this is not" and do not allow others to convince us to go against that, believe in your intuition always. Believe that you are worth it. Love your children, if you are blessed to have them, and always, always be honest, and accept nothing but honesty in return. These are all things I wish I'd known, or stuck by all my life, and am trying to fix now. Don't leave yourself a pile of old hurts to repair later in life, you never know if later will come.
