It hit me today that somewhere along the way in my life, I have learned to be grateful for absolutely everything that has happened to me, and for me. I know that sounds crazy. So does having a website called, HappyGoLuckyGirl.me, I do realize this; it is about choosing what to focus on.
I don’t need to share my life’s difficulties, pains and challenges, only to say, that like everyone, to be sure, I have had them. I would share that during my teen years, it was especially difficult for me for a number of reasons. As I look back on those challenges now, as well as those that have come into my life since, hard ones, ones that have rocked me, and know that I made it through. Somehow, I found the will, persistence, incentives, relationships, hope, and just enough kindness from someone at the right time, to put one foot in front of the other.
I have found, I can be grateful for all that these challenges have taught me about myself, because every challenge, every awful thing, sad thing and bad thing allowed me to be the person I became along the way. The person that so deeply appreciates meaningful, supportive relationships and finds purpose, joy and meaning in helping others make their life better in any way I can.
