Fresh starts

So I went MIA.  Needed to work on a few things, but I'm back.

I'm new and improved! MsTsa2.0.... sort of.  The level of contentment has risen and I've been in a better place for about a few weeks now.  It was hard for a while, not feeling like I had any control of my life.  But since then I've picked up a new side job, a new hobby, and stood firm on my principles and the things I want.  Which hasn't always been the case for me when it came to other people.  I'm a people pleaser, and as my friends would tell me, one of the most helpful people they know.  I realized I oft put my own desires aside to make other people happy.  And as the turn of the year had come, and my status went from woman to mother, my entire life view began to solidify and I started to assert my beliefs.  Probably because of that innate desire to do what's best for my child.  Either way, it may have thrown others for a loop.  I knew it was different from what I was used to and I was scared of it.  But I've come to a balance and acceptance of what  things are at the moment. Sure, I have bad days. But I've learned to say, Ok...it's a bad day. Get thru it and tomorrow will be better.  Then the next day is truly better.

Here's to a new beginning. Cheers.
