No longer the doormat

Ok, so today is not starting off the way I had hoped.  In fact, that has been the "story" of my life for the past few years.  However, today is the day that I change that story and rewrite it to the one that I want it to be.

I was recently reading the blog of a fellow Heritage Maker and was so inspired by how she was writing about living life out loud!  With my birthday fast approaching, I think that I am ready to make some changes and do the same!  I think that I have been doing a great job of living the kind of life that those around me want, but it is my turn to live the life that I want to live as well!  

I think that as a mom, a wife, a teacher, a woman, we get stuck in the ruts of life that leave us drained from all that we do to make sure that others are taken care of.  I love to do things for others.  As a matter of fact, nothing makes me happier!  However, the part about being true to myself is where I need a little bit of work!  Why is it so hard to let those who have "walked all over you" know?  

So, here is to New Year's Resolutions a bit early!  Today is a new day and it is going to be a great one!  I look forward to rewriting my story and being so proud of it in the end!!
