Survival Mode

   

    I have officially entered what some people call "Survival Mode." I always thought this pertained to animals, not humans, but I guess we all enter that mode when things get tough and we need to stay tough to get through these times. I have been called a strong woman many times. If I look back at the past few years of my life, I do not consider myself strong, just a survior. We all have bad times in our life. Some of us just know how to handle things better than others. I think that years of challenges has made me a better woman and maybe stronger. I am able to deal with what comes at me with style and grace.
   I can only hope that with all the challenges that I have endured over the years, that I will become a better and stonger person for me, and my kids. I am also hoping that my kids will learn from what has happened to me and apply that to their own struggles in life now and as they become adults. That would be the biggest compliment a parent can get. Of couse, I wish the best for my kids and a lifetime of happiness!
