What are your 5 greatest accomplishments?
1 - Back in high school, I never had a great work ethic. Unless i LOVED the class, i'd just kinda do what i had to to graduate. But when I really set my mind to it, and worked my butt off for it, i managed to seriously improve in the one class i stuck out when everone else i started with dropped it. Orchestra. I was always back in the second violins, and honestly never cared, until my senior year. Then I actually managed to get into All Region (8th chair 2nd violins, i believe) AND All State (where i actually made the first violins!!). And at the end of the year, i got an award voted on by the other students in the class, and won Most Improved. It was, and always will be, a very proud moment for me.
2 - Finding my voice - I was seriously shy for the longest time, and had a horrible time saying no. I hated the thought of dissapointing someone so much that i let myself fall to the side. But it put a crazy strain on me, and my friends, and my family. Now, i'm not afraid to say no or tell people what i REALLY think about a situation. I try to do it with tact, to be sure i don't seriously damage any friendships. But i actually found my voice, and it's been a huge blessing.
3 - Becoming a mother to two amazing little girls. I think that's enough said :)
4 - Remembering those who have always been there for me. - My best friends: Cassie, Ashley, and Loren. My Family: even though we didn't always get along, they helped make me who i am today, and i love them for it. Even those that I just consider friends, who go out of their way to do whatever they can to help us when things go a little crazy. You are all such a blessing in my life, and i could never thank you enough for it.
and last but not least:
5 - Finding ME - when i was little, i never really knew who i was or what i loved or what i wanted to do. I knew i loved music and art, and that's about it. Now, i've found things i'm actually passionate about. I know what i like, and what i flat out hate. I don't do things for other people anymore. If you don't like me for who i am now, then it's your loss. I'm prefectly fine with that. Those that stick around are the true friends, who can be there through thick and thin, even when i'm being a bit of a bitch. I am who i am, and finally know who i am and accept who i am. It's a great feeling.
I have a lot to be thankful for. Too much to put in a sentence at the end of a blog. I might just do a full blog post about them sometime soon. Until then, the posts will just be the posts. Know that i love you. And that's all that matters right now ;)
