Learning....

My life has been full of learning about myself as of late. It's a journey I didn't realize I needed to go on until I was in the middle of it. I have learned, I am bitter, easy to judge, harsh in my words, and hard on myself. I have forgotten that this life needs to have joy and laughter in it. Not so many put downs and anger. I need to let go of things I can't change or mistakes I have made and carried with me for years. Mistakes don't define a person. However they do change you and shape who you can become, for good or bad. Depending on which road you choose. I heard something the other day that made me ponder about my life....The storm doesn't define who you are, it reveals who you are. I am not sure I like what this storm has revealed. The great thing is I can change it! I can and I will. Life is good. It might not be what I imagined it being....in fact I can say it doesn't even slightly resemble what I pictured what my life would be like. But that doesn't make it a bad life...it's just different. So here is to putting my best foot forward. I am sure I will stumble, and even fall. But I will get back up and keep trying. The only thing standing in my way is myself and it's time I get the hell out of my own way!!!! :)
