Life’s Lemons
I got a dear friend the book Women Who Love Too Much as a birthday present and I had a chance to read the first few pages before giving it to her. Those few pages were enough for me to see the need to get my own copy of the book. That brief reading was in great timing as I am finally turning the page of a chapter that should have been turned almost three years ago.
It has become clear to me that I was internally fixated on what I had lost, on what had been done to me. One step outside my victim mental box and I came to appreciate all I have gained and done these last three years. I’ve become independent, I’ve supported myself and all my critters, I’ve given and received love, I’ve formed and maintained friendships while solidifying existing ones, I’ve come to know my city better, I’ve grown as a woman and a professional, and I’ve come to feel so much more comfortable in my own skin.
It is empowering and gratifying to taste the lemonade I’ve been able to make from life’s lemons.
