Please!

I don't know why, I don't begin to understand how, someone can sit and so blatantly bash not one, but many and not see what they have done. I am no better, but certainly not worse than anyone else in this world. I don't pretend to be anyone other than who I am. I am a mom, a first mom in the midst of a reunion of sorts, and a woman, and a human being. I love, I cry, I hurt, I get angry...I can yell with the best of them and I can give the cold shoulder if need be.
This world has many hardships, no one is immune. We all have our journey, each with different obstacles to overcome and many that we have managed to overcome and become stronger individuals for having done so.

There are times when there is too much for me to take, during these times I raise my hands to God and tell him so. I tell him no more...please no more, not now, I can't take anymore right now. I must confess, it gets better, for a time, then the ball starts rolling again. Kids are sick, the car is shot, the house is falling apart...I AM FALLING APART! LOL
I will survive, I am a survivor. I am strong, I take pride in that...I get it from my mom. Not saying that things don't get me down, that I don't get depressed, that I don't "lose it" from time to time. I'm not a machine for Pete's sake, I'm only human flesh and blood like everyone else. I love my kids, I love my husband, I love my life....this is MY life, and I'm thankful for every bit of it. This makes me who I am, where would I be without it? I don't let the tribulations in life make me a victim, I overcome or I get passed it and move on. I refuse to be a victim, I refuse to wallow in my pain. I will be strong...I will overcome, I will be me in every sense of the word. Don't judge me, unless you can say that you are without faults, don't cast that stone unless you are willing to take back what you dish out. An old saying or two that I believe with all my heart and have seen come true over and over again. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "What goes around comes around". Words to live by.
