Resolutions

Hey, It's been quite some time since I last posted and I wanted to touch base with everyone. There have been so many things that have happened since August that I wouldn't know where to begin. Thankfully, I've survived 2008! I don't know how but I've managed to keep off most of what I had lost and I'm now on track again. I never forgot you guys and your friendship meant and still means a lot to me. I'm holding things together, but it was really crazy for a while there. 2008 was full of trials and heartache. To name a few: my sister had to have brain surgery and nearly died, my marriage failed, 2 of my uncles died, and my father had a stroke over the holidays, and I'm still sorting things out. I went into therapy and learned a lot about myself and how strong I truly am. I know that I'm not the only one who has ever faced these challenges and I can now sympathize with others even more than before. My children are doing well despite it all and for a while I just ran on autopilot for them. It took me a while to get myself back together and to realize my worth. I resorted to eating a lot of pure junk, and I felt as bad physically as I did in my heart. I was really just surviving during that time and not really living. Today, I'm living! What didn't kill me has made me stronger. I resolve to stay healthy and keep my children happy physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
