I now realize that God used the last 5 years to work on me, while providing the people that would help my. It was a long road to get my son an education. During those early years I spent all my energy and time fighting for help and resources for him; while trying to be a good mom to my older sons also.
I didn’t realize until the last 2 years that I didn’t do much of anything for myself. That I didn’t even know who I was or what I even liked outside of being a mom. I had no idea outside of parent groups and buster clubs.
My children were growing up fast and leaving the nest and I was feeling lonelier and more lost every month that went by. God was trying to tell me something and I needed to listen!
I would fill out questionnaires asking me what my hobbies and interest were and I didn’t have any!? I also wrote down ‘being a mom’… which I loved! I honestly didn’t realize that I could have my own interest too. More shocking to me was that I didn’t know what I liked to do or what interest just ’ME’.
Not only has my youngest son come a long ways; but I realize now that so have I. In the last 2 years I have had lots of new experiences and discovered many of hobbies and interest that I enjoy now. I’ve even had several outdoor adventures that I once thought it was too late for me to try. I was so wrong! It is never too late to try new things and to live life to the fullest!
Now that my children are grown and pretty much on their own now; there is so much more in this world that I want to experience and do. I am so ready for more adventures!
