Today’s Prompt: 

I’d like to think that I’ve grown up a lot in the last couple of years. I went from going to school at Viterbo University, to moving in with my boyfriend in Hudson, WI, and then having my beautiful daughter on April 3rd, 2010, all in a matter of a couple years. Now, we’ve purchased our own home and I’m continuing my journey to obtain my Nursing degree. It’s been a hectic couple of years and there’s no sign of a slowdown anytime soon, but the one thing I know for sure, is I am happy and thankful for where I am at in my life. Some days are harder than others, of course, but there’s no doubt that all this hard work WILL pay off. I’ve learned so much about myself, my beliefs, my values, in this time as well. I’ve begun this journey into myself a little sooner than some of my friends and others in my life, but that’s just all part of the process. It’s all apart of picking and choosing who fits into the jigsaw puzzle that is your life. Some people make the cut, and some don’t. That’s another very important lesson I’ve learned throughout these past couple of years. For those friends that have stuck around, I know that they will be around for even longer. They can’t get rid of me now 😉 All in all, I am happy.
I am thankful.
& I am blessed.
And this is something I need to remember on those tough, raw, days.
