I unintentionally took yesterday off from writing. A side effect of having a birthday celebration with beer on a work night...
But I'm back!! Yesterday involved a bit more Advil than I would have liked, but after my lovely birthday I will not complain about a headache.
There are days I am overwhelmed by the people in my life. How is it that I have so many amazing people surrounding me? And then I think back to how each one of them came into my world and I get overwhelmed by the incredible opportunities I have had in my life. How did this poor little girl find her way into so many amazing opportunities?
And then I think, "why would I question this?" I have had these opportunities and have these friends because of each individual choice I have made in my life. And because I was supported by a family who, no matter what, supported each individual choice. We were always encouraged to try new things and take risks. My family always believed that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. And though there are some things that you might not be the best at, it doesn't mean you shouldn't do them. It's so much easier to see that support ten years after the fact...
Support and encouragement from family, believing in the self, going after what you want, not being afraid of the outcome. Basic rules for a full life.
