So, i've been thinking

So, i've been thinking a lot lately about feeling sad, overwhelmed, insecure, lonely - you name it. I know so many women who have been feeling really bummed out. Myself included. But, for me, at some point you just have to shake it off. Start to see things a little more clearly. There is a song by some canadian guy who's name escapes me, but he says "every road is a hard road." I believe that.

I am a lucky person.

My family has had it's share of tragedy, trauma, drama. Two years ago when Parker was two weeks old and my sister's baby was six weeks old my mom fell down the stairs while holding the baby. Little Tegan flew out of her arms and landed 10 stairs down on the hardwood floor. For a few agonizing days we thought she was going to die. At first she had many seizures which calmed down and eventually went away. She also seemed to be blind and her eyes constantly rolled sideways. Her left fist stayed clenched for months. Over time, with lots of intervention and work, she grew and thrived. She is pretty much perfect.

My point is that that was a really bad time. I lost my mom and my sister for a year as they just couldn't be around me and my children and especially Parker who was the same age - but fine. We have all had bad times. At some point we heal from them, learn from them and grow from them.

I am ready to do that.
