without the scar

On May 17th I hit my head on my car door.  It really hurt but it healed and I didn't think about it any more...until the other day while washing my face I notice the faint scar that it left.  Don't ask me why it took me 8 months to notice it because I really don't know...I have washed my face and put on my make up many times since then so who knows....maybe it was just the timing I needed.  Life and life decisions have left their scars too.  I have learned to love those scars for without them I wouldn't remember what hurt left the scar and without the pain I wouldn't be the person I am today....I know....you may not even like who I am today but that's ok because God does and I do.  So today I am grateful for the pain, for without it I wouldn't have the scar and without the scar, I wouldn't remember the victory.

reminding myself today....

2011

2011 was a rough year for me.  I made decisions I felt best but they weren't easy.  I was thrown for a loop Monday.  It surprised me, the feelings and emotions I felt but I think it was good for me.  It's taken me all week to come to terms with what I know is perfectly normal but hey, we are all human....who knows how things will affect us........surprise!  Moving forward but not forgetting the things of the past and cherishing the good things.
