It's been years since I journaled in Tough Girl Times. I am consistent about a few things in my life and this is not one of them. Although, I would like to make this a new habit for a couple of reasons. I need an outlet to vent about life. Also, I would like to be able to look back someday and see all that I have overcome in black and white.
While on my journaling hideous, I have been through the ringer. I adopted a child, was remarried and now separated, changed jobs, and almost died.
I try to keep my life private for the most part but I believe my story can help others. I have been through more in my 42 years on this earth than many have been in their entire lifetime. I have made mistakes and have suffered greatly for them and yet here I stand, I remain steadfast in my faith and I have survived.
I have paid a price and I can honestly say somedays, I don't know if I can do one more day here on earth. Trauma and pain can do that to a person. However, I still stand.
I want to use my resources to document my recovery and healing. I have been stuck in a rut and have not healed to date from all that has transpired. I am ready to begin this journey of healing. Getting my life, joy, and peace back.
I hope you will enjoy the ride.
Keeping it Real,
Tana
