Yesterday I took a leap and tried something I had never done before and had always wanted to do.
I love being in nature and I love horses. Yesterday I celebrated my birthday riding a horse for the very first time. What an amazing day it was.
Life is a journey filled with lessons, grief, heartaches, joys, adventures, triumphs and treasured moments.
I give thanks to the Creator for another trip around the sun, and I honor my mom up in heaven for bringing me into this world.
Without her I would not be here.
Life hasn’t always been easy but I give thanks each day that I awaken to a new day.
I’ve suffered through emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, substance abuse, debilitating and excruciating pain and near death experiences.
I’ve made bad choices in life and I’ve hurt others, I’ve had my share of resentments, anger and guilt.
I’ve also loved others, forgiven others, learned to love myself and forgive myself. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful husband, a beautiful family and a second chance at life more than once. I have helped and done for others in so many ways, sometimes to my own detriment.
Some have been grateful and some have not.
I learned to make my self care a priority and accept that I am not responsible for others’ feelings and reactions. I move forward in life knowing that although I am not perfect, I will continue to live my life the best I know how until it’s time for me to leave this planet.
I’ve learned to accept living life on life’s terms.
