Journal #4 - Thankful
Day was better today.
It's Sunday evening here and I'm reflecting on my day and thankful for my children, parents, select friends, my fur babies (cats) and of course now LJ.
I picked my eldest daughter up this morning and she came over to spend the day with myself and my youngest. Was really good to chat with her and have a catch up about our week. She has been so fantastic to talk to and confide in about how I'm feeling. I am so proud of the person she is becoming and at only 17 years of age is so bright and wise beyond her years.
Then I realise that I am a big part in why she is like that. I have raised her pretty much on my own, her father has had a hand in helping out with finances but I'm the one that has wiped the tears and been there when life has not been so kind to her.
Right at this very moment, I can feel proud of myself and what I have achieved with my children and all that bothers me at the moment seems so tiny in comparison. This a good feeling.
I have also stepped back from FB today other than commenting on a video my daughter tagged me in. I think sometimes social media is our worst enemy as well as ourselves. But overall it has been a quiet contented day just the way I like it.
Until next time... Much love,
