This year has been eye-opening for me. Feels like I've been under a black cloud since my mom passed. And just when I thought it was getting easier, I lost Helen last year. My two biggest supporters. I realized how their passing may have affected me, my decisions and how I was living my life. This may sound cliche but I cannot let my past shape my present and future.
I have so much to be thankful for and am grateful for all that I have. I can't allow everyday BS to get in the way of being appreciative of the many good things in my life. Knowing where I came from and where I am today. Jeez, how lucky am I? I've never been that person who focused on what they didn't have. And I hope to God I never become that person. My mom wouldn't like that......
