Still Smiling

[BklynMom]

This May will be the 4 year anniversary of my journey... wow.

I wanted to journal how happy I am today.

I have such a great life. I have a good career, stable finances, wonderful parents & sister whom I have grown closer to, & of course 2 amazing kids.

I honestly don't think I could have been as happy if not for the bomb.

The old me always wanted more. A nicer house, (my apartment is a dump!), more "normal" and better parents, kids that ate their vegetables for breakfast lunch and dinner and of course I had a long long list of how I was flawed. I wasn't advanced enough in my career, I didn't cook enough, Im not skinny enough, my hair is not pretty enough, if only I could afford botox.

I finally feel like everything I have is enough.

There are still hard times, especially when the girls are disappointed by their father. That is really hard and really upsetting.
