My Life as it seems to others

I often hear from others "you are such a good person" or " you are such a good mother".  Well life is not usually what it seems.

My life is not a box of chocolates.  It is not a present given to me and tied with a nice little bow.

I actually feel pretty much like a mom on the verge of a daily meltdown.  My kids say that I am a good momma.  Somehow I feel like I am continually letting them down.

I am only a mere human who actually has flaws.  I have no excuse for the things that have happened in my life lately.  All that I can say is that I am deeply sorry and ask for forgiveness.

I am blessed that my kids have forgiven my faults, my parents are still proud of me, my friends are standing by my side.  I am the lucky one in this world.  God has forgiven my sins and now it is time to rebuild my life once again.

So keep in mind as you look to those friends, family members and foes whose lives seem to be put together that most times they to have flaws.  Some flaws deeper than most and they need prayers and love to get through their most guarded secrets.

No one in this world is flawless it may seem like it at times but the world is full of sinners.  No one is immune to this.  No one has a right to judge another and no one should envy what another person has.

Till I write again.

Just when you think that your life is figured out.  That fate has been decided....you are thrown a curve ball that you just cannot imagine.

Life is should be a positive experience in my opinion.  Do not dwell on the negative and definitely keep the drama to a minimum.  My health requires nothing less and I try not to do stress anymore.

If someone comes into your life and has a positive impact on you.  Just be glad and thankful that it happened.  If the special someone needs to leave your life for whatever reason just be grateful that you had the opportunity to have them if even just for a few minutes.

Nothing is more important than learning to have empathy for others.  Remember you do not know their story so do not judge someone.  Falling in love is easy but learning to love is a very hard thing to do.  Never let a day go by where you do not tell those in your life that you love them.  You never know when they will be taken from you.  So live your life like it is the last day on this earth.  Walk away from the negative and just focus on the positive.
