The things I didn't say

I had a new beginning right before the Thanksgiving holidays this past year. It was not my choice. Looking back I know it was for the best and we are both better because of it. It hurt...I learned. Among those lessons --- I'm stronger than I could have ever imagined. I had not realized that I'd spent so much time trying to do what I thought was expected of me that I neglected to take time to cultivate and nourish friendships. So now my goals are this--Making a life for me and my daughter. Learning from life and loving each day because who knows when those days will cease to be. Being the best friend that I can be. Realizing that we are all human and imperfect and that it is okay.
