I don't even know where to start this blog. It's been a little while since I have blogged...mostly because things have been going well and I have been crazy busy.
There has recently been some very good things happen and some not so good things happen in my life. While I am trying to focus on the positive, it is very hard to not allow the negative to seep in. I wear my mask and in my moments of weakness, I embrace the flood of emotions that overtake me. I have learned a great deal about myself and others during this time - some things surprised me others did not. I realize you are only as strong as you have to be and sometimes that is pretty damn strong. I also learned that sometimes life can be derailed at any given moment, but that it is how you pick up the pieces that makes all the difference.
I can't change the past, nor would I ever want to. Life is sort of like a series of dominoes and until you make changes, they keep falling. We all play a part when something goes wrong. I don't believe that it is ever just one person's fault. Each one of us is a domino and it is up to us to play responsibly. With that said, I keep my focus forward and pray that each day gets easier and easier.
At this point, I want the positive changes to overshadow the negative ones. I have been given the most amazing opportunity and been able to realize a life long goal - an office play room. I am so grateful for the opportunity and for the ability to give so many children and families the experience of play therapy. This will be what I hold on to. This is my happy place. I have also taken steps to pursue my PhD. Sometimes I think I should have my head examined but this is a goal I have had for a long time and I would love to realize it.
With Thanksgiving being tomorrow, I want to take the time to thank some amazing people in my life. Each one of them knows who they are and without them I am not sure I would have been able to get through the past few weeks. To them, I am extremely grateful an indebted to. It is in times of crisis that you see a person's true self.
Until next time...
