Who Would Have Thought?
It’s been 4 1/2 years now… I have been through hell and back… the funny thing is, I remember saying, “if I just get clean…” I thought to myself, life would be easy peasy… boy was I wrong. that was the easy part… life has been hard … finding out why I did (do) what I do. Going back in time and undoing the hard stuff that has happened in my life. What is the saying, “Life isn’t for sissy’s?” yea I get that now.
So, through my constant battle of staying sober, clean, and battling an eating disorder … I am proud no grateful to say, I am clean, sober … and here and now working with those with the same afflictions. I am using my nursing degree to work in the mental health field.
I have spent the last 3 years working in an area I was pretty much miserable in. But saying that, grateful for that opportunity to learn something and meet new people. Yes, through all this, I am learning gratitude.
I had pretty much came to the point I needed to move on but didn’t know how. So… God did for me what I could not do for myself. Oh yes, I had moments of uncertainty, insecurity, worry and all that. But I surrendered it all and God just showed up… amazingly. As HE ALWAYS DOES…
I would like to say life is perfect now… It is not. I am going through a lot as we speak. But I trust God has my back. so I will not look back… Only forward to the goal ahead. (Phill 3:14)
So… who would have thought… today, I’d be here….and you’d be here..
Much love, Connie

Connie,, It’s me Just a Mom, good to see your still writing and doing God’s work. no matter the road it’s all in your daily life that matters.
I am managing an Assisted living home now, we have 10 residnets 8 have Alzhiemers/Dementia. I love them but now that I HAVE to work because of divorce life can be pretty hard. I am seeing these days that the road ahead is an open road adn only live one day at a tmie to the fullest.
