Moving On with Your Life

"You are responsible for your life. You can't keep blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is really about moving on." ~Oprah Winfrey

"To be able to move on, one has to learn to forgive not only the person (or people) who have done one wrong but also oneself." ~Eugenia Tripputi

Like everyone else, I've made numerous mistakes in my life.  I've let people get to me, take advantage of me, and I accepted way less than I deserved both in treatment and respect.   

However, I've learned from each of those experiences, including the bad choices that I've made... but learned from.  Mostly because I have taken responsibility for my actions and my own life, instead of making excuses or blame someone else (at least I try not to).

So even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry, I will know better next time to be more cautious.  With my recent move I have made a vow to myself, that from now on I will not settle for anything less than what I deserve in both life and love.  To me, that is truly moving on with your life. :-)

Am I ready to move on?

Oh my, this is too funny! I didn't mean to Post this yet, just wanted to save the title... I was very tired last night. Ha Ha

Yes though, I think I am ready to move on. I stayed here, in a cute little Iowa town, for the last 5 years because of the wonderful school. The teachers and staff gave my son an education that the 4 previous schools did not. For that I am extremely thankful!

Now that he is graduated I realized that I can move to the 'city' as they say out here. I will be closer to work, stores and family. I will also save an hour a day driving and about $200 on gas each month; if I don't spend my weekends running around too much since I will be 'closer' to everything. ..."Smile"...

Even though the thought of moving again and dealing with banks, house buyers and sellers, I am actually very excited! I am nervous about all the work ahead, but no anxiety about the change. So as of Thursday my cute little house is officially on the market 'For Sale'. I guess I am ready to move on! ..."Smile"...
