So…the question is asked…”Are you now the person that you thought you would be twenty years ago?”
*chuckle*
Interesting question, don’t you think? I mean, it would be really hard for me to say. I was such a silly girl with silly ideas about what was important. All I can say is, whatever I was thinking at 25 could not have remotely measured up to what I have been blessed with now. I try not to look back. Not because it was bad. Not because it was good – but because I can’t change it. There are a number of things from that time in my life that I am proud of and many decisions I made that I regret. I was living a life that in many ways would not be representative of the person I am today.
I don’t know what it was along this journey that influenced my direction and brought me to be the person I am today – except to say that I took things a day at a time. It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Bad things happened. Even tragic things happened but there was always laughter and joy along the way.
When I do look back I try to focus on the people and experiences from a position of gratitude. I am grateful for those friends and people who influenced my life and for everything they taught me. I am also grateful that the mistakes I made taught me to pick myself up and keep going.
But today, I am most grateful that I can look back and laugh at myself.
