I was thinking this morning that I have extra things to be thankful for this year. I have accomplished some amazing things lately! I actually, finally, have enough self-esteem to say "Look what I did! I did something great and wonderful!"
Self esteem is something that I have always lacked. I probably stuffed that down my throat with all my other emotions. "Yes, I'd like some frustration and stress with a side of low self esteem, please. Oh, and can you make that an extra large meal please."
But this year, I am saying something different. "No thank you, I don't need that piece of pie, I have eaten enough." The family has never heard me say that before!
I am remaking my life, and I am doing it on my own terms in my own time. That is important to me. I don't have to accecpt my size, my education, or my former "slacker" role in the family.
I don't know about you, but I am LOVING this!
This year I get to talk about school and about this blog and all the wonderful support I have. I get to discuss the demise of Myron and Couch Potato (okay, they aren't fully gone yet, but I can dream).
This year I am blessed to have those around me who have loved and supported me when I was at my lowest and cheered me on for each new accomplishment.
I want to thank all of you who follow my silly little blog and offer encouragement and support.
Thank you and Merry Chirstmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Solstice.
