I am absolutely convinced that we are put on this earth to learn life lessons. We are here to learn to live, and to learn to love. Some life lessons are hard and knock you flat on your feet. Some life lessons are beautiful and miraculous.
My general personality disposition is positive. I can be sunny and I can be funny. I can also be extremely sensitive. That's just me. That's how God made me and I have said several times that I won't apologize for being who I am. Being sensitive means that I can overreact in situations. Those who have known me for a very long time know that I bounce back pretty quickly.
One of the lessons I have learned recently is that I do need to have a thicker skin and not take things so personally. I paid dearly for that lesson and lost something important to me. However, I have also learned that there are things beyond my control and that I have to let things go. I've learned a long time ago that there is no point in holding on to things that are not good for me, and that I have to move on. I have also learned to trust in God. My spiritual journey in life has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but in general I want to believe in God and his love for me. I have to believe that God has a purpose for everything that we go through.
I will take this lesson in stride as I move forward with the holidays and surround myself with my new friends in Houston and my family. Chad and I have been together since 1992. We have been through a lot personally but one thing that I have found is that we communicate well and I can lean on him when I need to. He has given me strength I need and between him and God, I've got this.
