Journey...

I once read something that said... "you are the author of your own story." That has always stuck with me. So, what time is better than the present to start writing some of it down. Writing, to me, has always been somewhat therapeutic. Believe me, there is no time more so than now, that I can use some intervention!

When thinking of my life as a journey, the word "incredible" came to mind. There were lots of other words as well...crazy, hectic, mundane, and several unmentionable choice words we all feel at times, but sticking to the positive is my new mantra, so I went with incredible. Being a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, cousin, niece, aunt, granddaughter, employee, and many more things depending on the day or occasion, I am often pulled in many directions. Sometimes that is overwhelming, but when I stop and think about how blessed I am it is truly incredible. I have parents to bother me, a brother to annoy me, children to depend on me, a husband to re-direct me (lovingly), friends to pull on me for time/advice; I have a house to worry about cleaning, a job to sometimes stress me...and so on. There are just so many people in life searching, needing, wanting, deserving, and when I think about my life, it is incredible:) Not that there isn't more I want to see, accomplish, learn, and give, but I want to start appreciating more what I have, because it is so much!
