Life Ain't Always All Peaches.

We all know life isn't fair. 

At least I was told that all my life. 

When I would start nagging to my mom

 for the latest fashions in my adolescence

 and couldn't always get them. 

I would say, "That's not fair!" 

Moms response -  

LIFE AIN'T FAIR!

If I only knew then what I know now! 

She. Was. Absolutely. Right.

LIFE AIN'T FAIR!!!

And now being a responsible adult

 with numerous

obligations

worries

promises

and precious loved ones

to care and provide for...

...I now understand and appreciate

my mother and father

and the sacrifices they made

year after year after year

to keep our family intact

flourishing

happy (most of the time)

together and provided for. 

In abundance. 

I am blessed to have parents that raised myself

and my two sisters in a manner to understand

you have to work hard

for your success and wealth.

It isn't handed to you.

And it definitely does NOT grow on trees!

Blessed to have parents that showed us the importance of family togetherness

through our many wonderful camping trips and U.S. travels.

Parents that exemplified

moral goodness

giving back

and being kind to others.

They showed me so much

and they are the force behind why I am

a stable, caring, loving, good natured, accepting person,

daughter, sister, mother, partner and friend.

I try never to judge others.

Another example my parents instilled in me.

And when I say this

I believe I can speak for my sisters

as well.

You never know the struggles someone may be facing. 

So always be kinder then necessary.

Thanks mom and dad.

I could never express how much all of your

love

nurturing

support

and guidance

has meant to my life.

My world.

But, unfortunately, still.

LIFE AIN'T FAIR.

Life Ain't Always All Peaches.

Our family has had our share of

 quite a few rough years. 

Incredibly painful and profound losses of loved ones. 

Who cotinue to be in our daily thoughts and are missed so tremendously! 

But, we - I - you - us -

have no choice but to continue living. 

Living and cherishing who you DO have

here with you on this Earth now. 

Love them.  Always. 

And try not to worry so much about the things you have. 

In reality, things mean nothing

compared to your happiness

and those that you love

and hold dear to your heart. 

So, I guess the point of this post was

to just express that I am going through some tough times. 

Who isn't, right?

But, I KNOW I will get through them.

I feel my soul stirring

and I want to embark on something new.

Give more. 

Find happiness and joy in every day! 

Dispite the daily struggles.

Pursue my dreams of opening a Children's Boutique. 

I have so many dreams I pray come to fruition.

Nows the time I have to stand up and do it.

God as my guidance. 

Restorer of my faith. 

With the support of loved ones

 family and friends...I know I can get through anything.

I know I will.

So can you.

Prayers are always appreciated and welcomed!

God Bless each and every one of you reading this!

Many blessings.
