Haven't posted in a while. Just have not had the words to express what it is I am going through at this time. Don't get me wrong... it's nothing bad. I am actually enjoying this time of my life. I have been taking time to enjoy it and not be so quick to blog about any and every thought that passes through my brain (and lord knows there's a LOT of them!)
So I call this a time for reflection because every now and then you have to stop, breath and look back at your life. I do this regularly because while I am grateful for what I have been through, I do not want to repeat some things. At this point in time last year, I had maybe $20 to my name... did not know how I was going to pay my rent for June... my car registration and inspection was coming up... and I kept running out of gas. I had just had my interview for the fire department but I had not heard back if I made it into the academy or not. I was making plans to move back to New Jersey if for some reason I didn't make it into the academy... and if I DID make it into the academy, I had to figure out how I was going to pay rent, feed my kids and keep the electric on until my first paycheck.
Where am I today? I am a firefighter for my county, I rent a cute lil townhouse, my registration and car inspection is up to date. In fact, I am sitting in McDonald's right now while my car is getting worked on and the tires are getting replaced. My kids are in a private school and love it. I feel great and I don't feel stressed (tired...but not stressed). Oh, and I have over a half a tank of gas in my car too. How is my life so different compared to last year???? GOD! did you hear me...???? GOD has worked WONDERS in my life since May of last year. Everything I have today... how I feel about myself today... is thanks to Him... my savior, my life and my spirit. To say I am grateful is an understatement. I am truly blessed and extremely grateful for being so blessed.
So if you don't hear from me for a while... know that it is because I am enjoying my time. I have many plans for this summer... just to be able to have plans is truly a blessing. At some point I'm sure I will update... but until then, take some time to reflect. Where are you at in your life at this time compared to this time last year? Better, worse, why and if need be, how are you going to change it around??
