i’d like to define myself – thank you…

There are things in my life that I don’t like. Everyone has them right? But what bugs me is that these things – most of which I didn’t invite into my life in the first place – start to define who I am. Letting these things define me eats away at the person that I want to be – I’d like to define myself – thank you.

Negative energy wears on my happiness and I have so many things to be happy about. In the last year I had a near death experience and lived to enjoy life after it. I now have 4 happy, healthy kids and I am having a blast being their mom. I lived with my parents for awhile and found out that their unconditional love did not end when I moved out eighteen years ago. I found that the love between my husband and I changed – it became stronger and more determined. We don’t take things for granted – even hanging out on the couch watching TV seems like a blessing these days. I felt the love and energy from my family and my friends distract me when I was scared and support me when I was forced to face my fears. Now, everything is fine and I get to live knowing about all the positive energy that is surrounding me.

How do I fend off all the negative vibes that worm their way unwanted into my life ? I’m still learning that, but I think the answer has something to do with how I take responsibility for defining myself.

So the goal here is to create the blueprint for the rest of my life. It’s a life that has a smaller focus than it used to. One that is more simply lived and much slower paced than in the past. It’s full of blessings and when it’s not, it’s full of prayers.

Finally, I like people and all the great things that people bring into my life. So I thought that this was a great time to start writing again… thanks for reading … and let me know what you think… T
