How Far Have You Come?

This is one of my favorite quotes:


We are so hard on ourselves that we forget to take time to recognize the good we have done and how far we have come.  I read a blog earlier this month about "Drops of Awesome" (http://www.daringyoungmom.com/2012/12/19/drops-of-awesome/).  It talked about looking at ourselves in a different light - stop getting so upset at what you didn't do, and recognize what you did do.  If you cleaned one room, don't be upset that you didn't clean the whole house.  You cleaned one room and that's something to do proud of.  Life is hard enough without us beating ourselves up.  If I can do it, so can you!

Starting a New Blog

I have tried blogging before, but it didn't seem to stick.  In the last month I have realized how much I miss writing. If for anything else, this can be my journal - my way to express my life. No matter what happens, the adventures keep on coming.  Sometimes they are good, and other times, not so great.  But, life keeps moving on! This is my attempt to try and keep up.
