How much have you progressed in the past 10 years

I have to say I admire and commend you on your accomplishments. It takes great strength to admit ones past mistakes then greater courage to over come and defeat them. Great Job, you should be very proud of yourself. Ten years ago, I was working very hard, raising a family and struggling with sick and dying parents. It was a tough time in my life. Now I am a stay at home Nana, who adores her grand babies. I enjoy cooking for my whole family, I putz around my house and am currently looking forward to starting an outside project making a fantasy garden I can call my own. I work some for a friend who owns a computer shop, so with all that said I have to admit I have become a very contented and indeed a happy person. There are times in our lives we struggle, but in the end I believe as my mother use to say it all comes out in the wash.

I think I have progressed a fair amount, although not perhaps in the direction I thought I would be heading ten years ago. Back then, I was looking forward towards my career and thought I would limit myself to one child and be something of a work aholoc mom. Now things are the opposite, and my children take center stage in my life. I think sometimes things turn out as they were meant to be despite what we work for.

you are lucky mnflower but you made this luck happen and you seem to be a very strong person and that is wonderful when i am thinking ten years back i was living a total different life, i was still a student and was very much occupied by studies work and a relationship i had. now i am back at my parents at a crossroad that does not look bad but it is a hard one. well i hope you can ask that question again ten years from now..lol:)
