When I look at my old photos of myself I see 3 different women...
The single girl I was 3 1/2 years ago
The happy woman I became after I found true love
And the woman I am today
How I have changed in a year.
God has continued to help me become the woman I am today. Making me stronger yet teaching me what it is to feel weak. To share this wonderful life with someone I love and adore yet also teaching me that even this type of true love has it's struggles.Feeling confident and willing to stand up for what I believe in. Happy with myself without worrying what other people think. Accepting that no matter how much I try to control it..the earth spins without me and life goes on. I have found the humility to admit I am selfish so I have been working hard at learning to be a more selfless giver.It has taken me along time to embrace the ol 'cliche "dance like no one is watching" as I keep myself reserved to avoid looking like an idiot. Slowly,as time passes I am learning that the "dance" is more about who will get up and dance with you rather than watch with judgement. I have found my place as a Mother and my biological clock is satisfied. This house is slowly starting to feel like home although most days I silently wish I could move. I have a 6 inch scar on my tummy that I am still getting used to. I know it is common and all but..I had one of my organs removed! Still trying to wrap my head around that. My 30's have been so full of personal growth for me and I feel confident that I am right where I am supposed to be. Here. In this small country town. With Vern by my side and 3 happy,healthy kids.
Ummm...LOVE your hair color! Is that new? Maybe you have being gradually making "the change". Old or new...I love it!
