When I first saw the above picture, I immediately related to it. It made me go back and think about all those mistakes, failure, heartache, disappointments in my past but only momentarily because I was learning and taking valuable lessons from all of it. I would spend time wondering if it was ever going to get better, if it would ever stop being such a struggle.
The truth is today I do look in the mirror and I am a different person. I SEE STRENGTH, PRIDE, and BEAUTY like never before. I am no longer burdened with guilt and disappointment. I am not holding any grudges and gave forgiveness where it was needed. I am setting goals and obtaining them and this is being seen by very important people - my daughters - this is the kind of examples I want to set for them.
My life is good right now and I haven't remembered being so content. I am ALIVE, not just breathing!
