I don’t know about you, but I need to give myself daily reminders. Things that I need to work on, or want to remember. These reminders are based on what I am going through and dealing with at the time. Today’s reminder was this, “The only person who is going to give you security and the life you want is you.” Going from being a Stay at Home Mom, to a single mom, who works full time, has been quite the change for me. It’s been an extremely difficult challenge. It’s also been one of the best things for me. This new stage of my life has forced me to come out of my comfort zone, and realize that I indeed can do hard things. Do I wish more than anything that I could be a SAHM again? Absolutely. I am the only one that can give myself the security and the life that I want; therefore, I will continue to focus on what I can do to better achieve my own personal goals to better the life of myself and my children. My goals won’t be achieved overnight. They will take hard work. I have learned one thing about my challenges…I still have a beautiful life and I am grateful for everything that I have gained and learned through these challenges.
