acceptance: the ultimate freedom.

Yesterday was a terrible day, for me. I felt like Eeyore, walking around with a black cloud over my head. Everything seemed disappointing or depressing or upsetting .. I took a bath and shed more than a few tears. I had no idea why.

& then this morning .. I woke up & I was happy to be awake. I was excited to get the day started, happy to see the kids .. I was even excited for my apples n cinnamon oatmeal. Now, as I'm sitting here typing .. Oliver, Madelyn and Daniel are all playing together in some pop up tent thing and I'm just smiling.

I am happy. SO happy. My life is good, enjoyable, simple and I'm excited for my future. I feel like I'm finally rid of all the drama and negativity .. and I'm not looking back either. Everything happens for a reason.
Every.
Single.
Thing.

Each day offers new purpose and with that, new challenges as well. So often I looked to others for my strength and motivation to get through each day. Finally I'm able to motivate myself, encourage myself, accept - myself. I hadn't even realized I was doing it, until I noticed the contrasting differences between yesterday and today.
