I am such a lucky girl

I have come so far.

I think about that young little girl living by herself, trying to raise two little kids, and working at a job that was really great......it just didn't pay enough.

I remember crying at night and wondering how I was going to do it.  How I was going to take care of my boys.  And of course, you all know how much help I had from my ex.

Thankfully, my parents stepped in and helped where they could and my in-laws did what they could.

Now I am this older person and things are so much better.  I am so incredibly blessed to have married the perfect person for me.  To have kids that are off and building their own successful lives.  To have family in Tucson who are there for us no matter what.  And to have a successful business (even though it causes a whole lot of extra stress in our lives).

I sure have come a long way from that sad, scared and lonely little girl just trying to survive and be a good mother.

Sometimes it's nice to just sit and remember those days that molded you into the person you are today.
