I'm not there yet.
55
Some people have asked me "What do you have to be happy about?"
Well I would count all the ways and reasons, but there are too many.
They have even told me I should be bitter by now. Why?
No I'm not there yet.
Yes my heart has been broken, who's hasn't?
And I've started my life over at an older age than I would have liked.
But It has been a blessing in disguise. It has been a journey of self discovery.
With out these moments leading up to my life change, I would have missed the best parts of me. I never knew who I was or who I was supposed to be, until I stood alone. I have lived a lot of life, experienced a lot of things earlier than most. But I found out there is still alot more to go. Good and yes some bad, but that is what life is all about.
So no I'm not bitter.
I'm not there yet.
I don't really think I will be. I'm thankful I have this much strength, if not my children would have suffered more than me.
Maybe I should have given up on love as well. But I can't. I know it's out there somewhere. And when the time is right it will happen. And I think all these trials will just make me appreciate it all the more. So am I ready to give up.
No I'm not there yet.
I've greeted loved ones into this world, and been forced to say some good-byes as well. So am I mad at God, do I blame him? No
My life as not exactly been ideal. But should I hold others responsible for my faults and poor judgement? Am I ready to place blame? No
I will go on living my life making choices, loving people even when they seem to not deserve it, and I'll still but trust in others until they give me reason not to. I'll hold on to my dreams and continue to hope for the best. And be willing to embrace whatever may or may not come my way.
Am I ready to give up on life, no.
I'm not there yet.

Pressing forward and loving others is God's will for you and He has given you strength. I pray that God will richly bless you and that you remain content and at peace wherever He leads you.
Thank you both for reading. I know that I am being prepared for something wonderful.
You have a good outlook on life. We have a hand of cards that has delt us a bad deal, at one time or another. There seems to be someone out there who has had it worse than us? So, therefore, we can count our blessings:) Heartfelt thoughts!
Thank you. Anytime I have felt bad and thought things in my life weren't fair, I just take a deep breath and remember, it's not as bad as I think. And yes they are many people who have had it worst that me. I know how blessed I am. I just always know it will get better. Thanks for reading
Good on you! :-)
Thanks.
We think that happiness can rest of the belief that God does not make bad things happen to anyone. God gives us strengh (if we allow it) when bad things happen.
You are doing very well.
Thanks for an inspirational hub.

Keep your head up:
remember that life isnt about what has happened to you - it's about what CAN happen, if you're open to the possibilities!!
Nice post!!
