About Me

I'm 36, 37 this year...40 is just around the corner. In fact, I can see the top of the hill. The top doesn't bother me. It's that other side I'm a little concerned about. Everything to this point has been expected. College, marriage, kids, home. But, what's next? 40...not too long ago that was so much older than it is now. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't be happier. (Well, some days I could) But overall, life is good. Good, and tiresome. So, here's a peek into my days of grudgingly making my way up that hill, three kids and hubby in tow.

Don't You Dare Stop

We all go through things in life.  ALL of us. No one is immune to life's changes and challenges.  We all go through them.  Great things and tough things.  I am a firm believer that life is full of seasons.  Some of these we go through because they are a part of life. And some based on decisions we have made.  But, in all these things, I am convinced of 2 things...

1.  Each and every one of these 'seasons' offers us something that will make us better.  Not only is life always changing but so are we.  And we have the choice, given every miracle or obstacle we face, to take something from it.  To learn something about ourselves.  To make 'me' a better person.  It really is up to you.

And

2.  We are going THROUGH them.  Keep moving.  If it's wonderful, love every second of it.  Be intent to remember.  If it's difficult or uncomfortable, keep going.  You may even have to move faster and push harder just to get through that tough spot.  But, don't you dare stop.  No one is coming to your pity party.  If your friends see you fighting, they are sure to get behind and push or go ahead of you and pull.  That's what real friends do.  You are never alone in this because WE ALL GO THROUGH THINGS.  And a lot of the time that hard season gives way to something very bright and shiny. 

Where ever you are today, embrace it...but get up and get on with it.
