There have been days in my life that I have felt so alone... having a family does not necessarily mean "you have a family."
I sit back and look at myself, and how I have ... "coped" ... "endured" ... "managed" ... "bumbled" ... "mourned" ... "celebrated" ... "fought" ... "made peace" ... "struggled" ... "surrendered" ... "cried" ... "laughed" ... "battled" ... "agreed' ... "defended" ... "attacked" ... "engaged" ... "dismissed" ... "scrambled" ... "organized" ... "learned" ... and "experienced" ... and I have had to do it all, right or wrong, learning along the way, all by myself! [No father; no mother; sister or brother; grandmother or aunt; uncle or grandfather; let alone cousins to help or be there for me, a shoulder to cry on, or maybe a hug? A little loyalty or camaraderie?]
It's no wonder I am a little rough around the edges. ;)
As I look back on all the chapters of my life, trials and tribulations, mistakes, accomplishments and achievements...I've done okay! I have a few more things I want to do... and will continue to do ~like my blogging...
As long as I keep moving in the right direction, forward, that is... keeping my goals in sight... working towards them a little each day... I will prevail... I will prevail! I WILL PREVAIL!!!
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. ~ Winston Churchill
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many -- not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ~ Charles Dickens
Act as if it were impossible to fail. ~ Dorothy Broude
Don't run from lessons; they are little packages of treasure that have been given to us. As we learn from them, our lives change for the better. I now rejoice whenever I see another portion of the dark side of myself. I know that it means that I am ready to let go of something that has been hindering my life. I say, "Thank you for showing me this, so I can heal it and move on." ~ Louise L. Hay
