I am…

I did an “I Am” post a while back here.  I can’t remember any of what I put “I was” in that post unless I go back and read it.  I can guess that it’s a little different than what I’d describe myself as being today.  Not that I’ve completely CHANGED, but I’ve had a series of life changing events happen over the past year…like my son being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and being insulin dependent, and my husband moving to Africa temporarily, and me taking a leave from my job due to illness.  All of these events have been challenging, and I’m really a changed person because of them.

I’ve taken great strides to make many changes over the last year due to all of the past events that occured, and it has definitely been a challenge.  I’m aware that I back slide from time to time, but I always try to regroup, refocus my energy and get back on track ASAP!  To grow and change for the better involves a daily acknowledgement of self, commitment to your goals, and truly wanting and working to be better everyday.  I know that over the years my “I Am” list will change, evolve, grow, etc., but I’m so looking forward to it!  So without further ado…here is who I AM today!
