An Epiphany

Today, I had an epiphany. Today, I realized that I finally - at nearly 43 years old - like who I am. I like DONNA.

For most of my life I've battled with myself. I was too fat, too broke, too shy, too loud, too big.. always TOO something. Today as I bounced out of the worlds best smoothie and sandwich shop in downtown Montgomery, I realized that I was happy, that life was full of activities and friends and family and that I finally liked ME for who I am. I have an awesome husband, a great family, beautiful horses, some wonderful friends, talents in many areas that many people would love to have and life is GOOD!

Now, I could be thinner true, I could be better at managing money also true. I lose my temper too quick and I tend to procrastinate (evidenced by the spotty posts on this blog!), and I am horrid at housework. I definitely can be a damn potty mouth and have things that I do, decisions that I make sometimes that I would do differently next time around but all of those are just things. Things we can work on for improvement, but if you don't like who you are on the inside then the outside things become insurmountable.

Take some time today to find a quiet spot, a shady corner.. or hell a cute sandwich shop, check out the sunshine and make friends with yourself. You'll be glad you did :)

Happy weekend everyone!
