Are you hurting?

Have you ever thought that other people appear to be traversing through an easier life than you are?

When I started this blog back in 2014, I was an emotionally exhausted mom struggling with the heartache of watching one of my adopted kids behaviorally spin out of control…wanting desperately to “fix” things and being unable to. Nine years later, that situation seemed to be stabilized. Within the last nine months though, that situation with my daughter spun out of control again. I would love for life to be smooth sailing but alas, there are still bumps. My life continues to be one of joy and sorrow, great highs, and equally great lows.

I still ask myself at times… “Why me?” … but then I have to answer, “Why not me?” Like everyone else on this planet, I choose every day how I am going to react to life’s difficult circumstances. I can be bitter about the pain I encounter, or I can use that pain to strive to be a better person.

How About You?

I invite you to join me as I continue to journey towards “better.”
