I have done alot of soul searching in the last couple of days..and this is what I have come up with…..
1) I do believe that I have many friends, but only certain ones I would call my “close” friends. Distance, time and age are all a factor when it comes to who I have as friends. Some are a few years younger, some are all the way across the country and some I have not seen in months, maybe even years. I don’t feel that I have to much in common with those who are younger than me, and some times I just feel like a 3rd wheel but to be honest, I wouldn’t change it, our differences is what makes us great friends. Then there is a friend who lives so far away that I doubt I will ever see him, but still I feel as though I have a great friend in him, and you never know maybe someday I can tell him that in person. For those of you I have not seen in months, what can I say…I miss you all!! But the way I look at it is, you are all my friends…and each one of you has a specail part in my heart, and should time, distance or age tear us a part…at least I can look back and see your face, your smile…and know that there once was a time that we were friends. I rather have a few days, months or years of your friendship than none at all. I love ya all!
2) I believe that I could become a better Mom for my kids. Now I am not saying I am a bad Mom, because I am not! What I am saying is I am a Learning Mom, I am taking each day to find new ways to raise, teach, disipline and learn with my kids. Each day is a new beinging, each day is a day for myself to learn something new about each one of my babies…each day is a specail blessing I get to experience over and over again. I may break down every now and then, and just wish for a break…but when the day ends and I see my babies lying in bed…I can’t even explain the love that flows through me. When I gentle kiss their chubby cheeks and whisper “Mommy Loves you, see you in the morning”, time stands still for that extra moment. I can’t imagine a day without my kids, to not be able to hold them…I can’t possibly imagine the pain I would feel. My kids are my life, my inspiration…they are my everything.
3) I have some to turns with my relationships and why they have all failed. Yes I expect to much and some times I set standards to high. But I do believe I should not settle for less than what I deserve. I deserve to be happy, I deserve respect and I deserve to be loved. If I am not happy should I have to settle with it? Should I settle with little or no respect…and what happens if the love is no longer there? Then what…do I still have to settle with it? No I don’t and I wont…but I will not from this day forward expect more than I am willing to give. I will give 100% into my relationship, I will be more understanding, respectful, generous and I will just be me. And should a day come when I just don’t have it in me, I will stop and realise just how much I have and how greatful I am for it…then I will start the day over.
4) I am a better person and in time everyone will see that. But the one person that I want and need to see it is Me!
I don’t want to change who I am, I just want to expand who I am. I want and need to become more than what I am today. In time its important for me to see a change in myself.
