Life Is Good

Life is good,you want to know why?
I didn't like my life 10 years ago. I didn't like who I was and I was in unhealthy relationships. Although it was hard,I made some dramatic changes. I got divorced and quit surrounding myself with toxic people. It took hard work and patience but 10 years later I am where I used to wish I was. Life is simple. I work a job I love,I share my free time with a loving partner and I surround myself with honest and true friends. I appreciate all that I have so much! So this brings me to today...
I sat on my bed examining the contents of the big envelope I got in the mail. My credit report. Honestly I have never seen it...and I was worried. The good news is that I have "fair" credit and only 3 things dragging my score down. Those damn poor choices I made in my 20's coming to haunt me again! My eyes switched to the other paper laying on the bed. My pay stub. Deductions for  health insurance,vision insurance,401k,taxes...yikes! Where the heck did my paycheck go?! Frustrating.And then it happen,that little smile I get inside on these moments, when I realize again that I have become the person I waited so long to be. At times I almost don't recognize myself! Simple and responsible. A retirement planning,insured woman with fair credit,I like the sound of that :)
