Dedication comes in many forms~

~Dedication comes in many forms I have come to realize and if you are dedicated enough you can do just about anything. Let's say 3 months ago, I was ill, doing the single mom gig on essentially auto-pilot because truthfully what other choices did I have? Yes I was sick but what could I do? I am hard headed to a fault at times and I was too proud to ask for help and honestly I was scared what the Dr's would perhaps find because I was sicker than I had ever been and I worried. As with any parent though your children come first at least that is how I thought but I realized that yes I was dedicated to them, of course, but in order for them to be safe, sound and cared for I had to take care of ME and I sadly was not. I had come to the point where I was so weak I could barely do it day in and day out but my love and dedication to my position as mom, military spouse, maid, cook, mix in a full time job that I love and you have a heck of a busy life. I had to cut down my list a touch and realize I needed help, it knocked me out of my comfort zone for sure but it was necessary. Now here I am healing, eating very healthy, exercising several times a week, easing back into work and LOVING IT, and my kids are thriving and doing well. They have a mommy who takes them for walks and plays with them now and as I sit here fighting back tears, this is the first time in a long time I can actually PLAY with my children. WOW~~~This journey has been a humbling one indeed and for that I am ever so grateful. I have even redone my front and back yards, slowly but surely and I am so proud! The grass is growing and I am so happy I DID IT! No help!! Just me and dedication and hard work. I still have plenty of bad days and am still not out of the woods if you will but I will get there at some point and I am blessed beyond a shadow of a doubt. I have a renewed faith in my God, myself, and it is something I have not been able to say in quite sometime. Above all else dedication is key and tonight I feel blessed with a strong sense of self and dedication again! What a great feeling and I am so excited to see what blessings and fun the summer brings! May you all feel as blessed as I do tonight...Much love as I go kiss my trio goodnight one last time. <3<3<3 Love and many blessings~ Sarah
