35 is a good mark to do so I think. I have thus far lived half my life, if I were to consider the average mortality rate of our country for women. I have thus far experienced half of what makes me the human being I am.
And what momentous joyous years these thirty five have been!
Marked by love and success; some heart break, but a lot of lessons; some sadness, but also a lot of joy; some failures, but also a lot of acceptance of who I really am....
My battles: As a teenager, wife, a new mother, a woman and most importantly as ME...
My joys: As a girl looking for a father figure, as a woman in love, as a mother, as a woman....
My failures and my successes.....
At 35 I am content.
I have a wonderful family, a life partner without whom this life would be meaningless, adorable and adoring kids, a soul mate who gives me wings to fly, a career that I have built from a scratch, with my hard work and determination, and a life that is wholesome and complete.
I wanted to thank all the wonderful people who make my life worth the joy it is...each and everyone who has influenced me with their love, support, unstinting faith and friendship.
I love all of you and THANK you for being who you are!

That's how life begins. It's agony and ecstacy from birth and goes on. Let history go by and await a new tomorrow. Bye & god bless.
Here is hoping you had a wonderful birthday.
I have a long way to go in all that you have listed, and take on life as a treasure to behold and look back on with the kind of love that I see in your words.
God Bless!

Wow...the sense of gratitude which comes through. Its written that people with a sense of gratitude are generally happier.
