Rediscovering Sandy…











{January 29, 2009}   Bloom where your planted.

I have been thinking about the word REDISCOVER today. One of the synonyms for it is UNEARTH.  When I think of the word UNEARTH I think of a seed, growing  into a plant and growing out of the ground until it becomes a beautiful flower.  So through my rediscovering of my life, I want to grow into a better person, and to learn to accept me for who I am, and not who others expect me to be.  I am not perfect, and I am not gonna stress myself over my faults. If it is something that definatley needs changing, I will do my best to change it. But if its just trying to live up to someone elses standards, I am so over it. I have no one to impress. For once in my life, I need to learn to impress me.

Basically, I am happy with my life. I love my husband. I love my kids and grandkids. We are not wealthy, but we are taken care of. Sure there are things I want, but I cant dwell on them.  Life may not be how I planned it, but I am content with it. And I think thats important. Being content. Not judging yourself by other peoples standards. It has taken me a long time to realize that. I have always worried what everyone else wanted, and what others thought of me. And in worrying about that, I was never comfortable with myself. There just comes a time when you have to decide who really matters. And if they dont matter then they should have no impact on how you feel about yourself. My family matters. What they think counts. My true friends matter. My fake friends dont.  People who belittle you all the time really arent your friends. People who always have to be better than you really arent your friends either. I gotta distance myself from these types of people.

Basically, I am gonna continue to work on me. God has blessed me with my family. My life is my business. Its between me and God. That is the only standard that I have to meet.
