Ok, so we've hit the home stretch and I'm starting to get a little lean on my affirmations.
So today I am affirming that I love my life. Sure, there are times when it's hard, when I feel like just walking away. Those are the days the bills come in, the kids drive me insane, the house is a sty and work just gets on top of me. I'll admit there have been more of these days lately than less. There are days when I've just hung my head and cried (and I am sooooo not a crying kind of girl).
But then I find myself sitting back and taking evaluation of my life. I can acknowledge the hard times, but I can also appreciate the good things in my life. Bills mean I have a roof over my head and food on the table. My kids fighting mean they are healthy and well. The house is dirty because I choose to spend time with my kids rather than fastidiously cleaning. Work's challenges mean my brain continues to be pushed, I'm constantly learning and I'm never in my comfort zone. The fact that I work means I get paid and can afford the nicer things in my life. And as for the emotional outbursts - they are recognition that sometimes I do just need to slow down and evaluate.
I also have a fab group of people around me who support me through the tougher times.
At work I have a special group of ladies who I can just unload to - tell them all my woes, whinge, moan and complain and then find myself saying that I need to just get over myself and get on with things. These wonderful women keep me grounded and as sane as I get.
My husband puts up with the highs and the lows and does his absolute best to support me through my mood swings and hair-brained schemes.
My friends at home listen and give wise counsel, and sometimes just tell me to pull my head in when I get too off-track.
I've managed to get my head around my budget, plan the next 5 years financially and get back on track money-wise.
I'm a firm believer that when we want change in our lives, we are the only ones who can bring about that change. So here I am, once again changing and taking my life back with both hands.
