Life is full of ups and downs, everyone knows this. April has been a month of rebuilding for our family since April 20th four years ago. Rebuilding can be as small in scope as organizing a closet, preparing flower pots for spring, or changing your hair color. Rebuilding can also be as large in scope as rebuilding a belief, starting a brand new workout, or learning to walk. Here is the important thing to remember, rebuilding is daunting, it is your journey and you are allowed to be happy or sad, exhausted or ready to take on the world, feel any way you want. Oh, and the kicker? No one can make you feel any one way or another - only you can - but they can help make it all a little easier and worth it if you let them. Sounds smart right? Yeah, well, I don't live by it all the time, but I try!
This April was a rebuilding month (after a March with the flu and all the fun that comes with that recovery) - it was not always easy, and not always hard. I have a new garden, cleaner kitchen cabinets, and thanks to a lot of work this weekend - clean carpets again. I have lost the fear of going and working out with a new routine and new people and reminded myself that I am worth it, and there is nothing I can't do if I set wise and realistic goals. In short, I have made small changes and am ready to end rebuilding April with a bang and finding those May flowers!
Oh, and to starting to write down all my crazy thoughts again, whether they are read or not!
