Reflection

Boy do things change! In these past two years I have brought another loving boy into this world, am one semester away from getting my Associates degree, went through my first deployment, just bought a house, and may be embarking on a new exciting fitness journey I never would have imagined. I feel accomplished and empowered by the things that I have learned. Writing it down is a realization that positive change has occurred in my life and I wasn’t even aware of it. The world we live in is so fast paced that we forget to take a breath and reflect.

Here is my reflection:

I have grown as a wife, as a mom, but most importantly as an individual. I have put myself in places that are outside of my comfort zone and have excelled. I have accepted who I am and the things that I can actually control. I am the mother of two boys who are just pure joy to be around. While being a mother can be quite hectic, I have found a way to incorporate them in everything I do. I have chosen to not limit them and let them explore the world that they live in. I have also built an unbreakable bond with the man I am so lucky to call my husband. Support goes both ways with us and communication is happy hour. I am far from where I want to be, but even if I never get there, I get to live this life with the three men that I love and a whole bunch of fulfillment.

Disclosure: Getting here was not at all easy. What came with it was a lot of hair loss, breakouts, tears (whether it be sad or happy), laughter, accomplishments, questions, doubts, anger, and more. It is all a part of life and sometimes the lows brings about the highs in life. One day at a time and small goals to get to where you want to be. My mind and my thoughts are all a part of the roller coaster ride that I physically refuse to get on.
