Morning! Happy Wednesday! It's been a long week. Maxine has been sick with the flu. I've been feeling under the weather so I'm glad to be feeling better. I'm ready to keep my head up high and work hard to achieve what I deserve. I am a very lucky person- I have happiness that not everyone gets to find. I have purpose- to take care of my family and to advocate for and support other codependents. I am working on changing my career path but that doesn't mean I don't have purpose. I do! I let something get to me last week- I let myself feel like a victim and I am not. My daily meditations book just reminded. me that I am not! Life may be challenging at times but I can control how I respond and I can change my attitude and I will be okay! I was doing so great about changing my attitude and perspective regarding certain situations until this happened with work. I have been able to look at the bright side of things but this particular thing knocked me down- and it knocked me down hard. I need to remember that right now my top priorities are taking care of myself, taking care of my kids and supporting Mark in any way I can. My purpose in life isn't to do a job. That job doesn't define me. Being Kristie, Mom and supporting Mark are the things that define who I am. I am the strong, independent woman I am today because of being those things. No job made me who I am today. Although a job or career can be a big part of life, you can easily be replaced.There's no one in the world who can be me. Who can be Maxine + Ethan's mom or who can be Mark's biggest supporter. No one can be me!
So my promise to myself is to continue being me! Continue being who I am and being proud of how far I've come. I will also continue to build a new career for myself- one that works for my life. One in which I will see a financial gain from my hard work. In this new career I will be valued and appreciated! <3
