Mothering during the Summer

on
Mom with three kids "Summertime and the livin' is easy..." -Gershwin It's summertime and the living is supposed to be easy. My summer has been anything but.  It's had cloudy days, tearful nights. And questions, lots of questions. It has had lies and betrayals. And relationships that have eroded beyond repair. It has brought me to my knees. And, it has required profound resolve to remember life's true meaning just to make it through. And  required the maturity to do what is right despite what I may be feeling. It has been a lot. It has been incredibly hard. And, it has taught me that I am incapable of being broken. So, even though summertime ain't been easy, this life is to be celebrated. Because like Gloria Gaynor, "I will survive!" And, I have. I am even thriving.

Overcoming Hardship...

Our family

I find it hard to write when I can't tell the whole truth it's the curse of having an honest mind I guess. As the words have been wrestling in my head and I've had thoughts and emotions behind them, I know this.  

I have been absent for a while because I have been processing life since my kids and I were in a motor vehicle collision. I was reluctant to share that the accident occurred in this forum  because I was embarrassed. The embarrassment was because the accident happened regardless of fault. I generally pride myself on being able to control my life and the accident was a reminder about how vulnerable I actually am. I needed time to regain my confidence so that I can share what life has taught me in this forum. Here is one thing that I have learned.

Despite what I've endured, overcome and experienced. I. Am. Blessed.
