Another Beginning

"The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning." - George Sand, novelist

I am not the same woman I was even five years ago, so I am certainly not the same woman I was before I was married thirty years ago (for the first time) or before I had children. So much has changed.

I've had peaks and valleys on my journey and there were times when I didn't think I would pull through. I've had periods of depression and periods of overwhelming joy. I've sunk to an emotional bottom and I've risen up again to continue on my life's path. This is no different from anyone else on earth. We all go through these experiences. I've had lots of help along the way and I will never be able to repay my friends who've guided me every step of the way.

I'm just so grateful to have come this far. I look forward to becoming yet another "I" in the years to come. May I always maintain this attitude of gratitude. I am happy and healthy and loving life. Thank You God and thank you my friends! I couldn't do this without you.
