One Year Later

It's amazing how fast a year can go, yet feel like it's gone on forever. It sums up how I have felt for 366 days. All along, I have blogged about progress and programs and what we went through on a day to day basis and all the little victories, but this blog is of how one adapts to a complete change of life.

I have never been good with change. I have put up with people and situations just so I didn't have to.

I have always been fearful of decisions, and this year I have had to make life altering ones, ready or not, right or wrong. I have second guessed those decisions over and over.

I have learned that everyone,professionals or otherwise has their opinions, but they aren't always right.

I have been disappointed by people I thought would never disappoint me and  been surprised at those who have stepped up like never before. I have reconnected with old friends and have been restored by what they have done for me. 

I have had to learn to ask for help, which is still hard.

I have swallowed my pride more times than I can count.

I have tried to find the positive, I have tried to grow, I have tried to accept this must be part of a grand plan, a great reason, although I have to trust I may never know that reason.

I have learned to do things I never thought I could. I have learned that there's a solution to every problem.

I have learned I got through a whole year when I thought I couldn't live through one more moment.

I have learned I am strong, and no matter what, I will get through this.
