I know the #blessed gets overused, but I’m truly feeling it lately. For anyone who has struggled with anxiety, you know how important this is – to have more good days than bad, and to really love the life you’re living.
I know I’ve talked this point to death already here, but I just have to say it again. My life is 100% different than it was this time last year, and I can’t help but keep thinking (out loud) about it, and being so thankful.
This time last year I was:
- Unhappy in my current living situation, and living with people who made me feel like crap about myself.
- Wondering if I was ever going to find someone that could love me, imperfections and all.
- Letting my anxiety control me, as opposed to the other way around.
- Insecure and wanting more happiness out of life.
- Just letting each day just pass me by and watching a lot of Netflix and hiding out in my room.
- Not working out at all anymore, after being injured and letting that wear me down.

Now I:
- Am incredibly happy in my living situation, and living with a man I’m deeply in love with.
- Know that I deserve the love that J gives me, appreciate it and fall in love with him more each and every day.
- Am in control of my anxiety (and for that I couldn’t be more thankful!)
- Am secure in myself, my quirks and my weirdness. It’s what makes me, me!
- Finding the good in every day (and still watching a lot of Netflix, but now it’s not because I’m trying to hide away!
- Signing up to run a 5K and getting back into fitness! (& back on the weight loss train!) More on all this soon.

It’s amazing what a difference a year can make. These changes are not all because I found J, but that certainly doesn’t hurt. More so than anything else, I’ve finally learned to love myself after 27 years.
All of this came about when I was driving home from work yesterday (Interesting tidbit: I get most of my post ideas when I’m driving and have to try to remember them until I get home!), and this song came on my Sirius Radio – love you Y2Kountry (and Martina McBride.) #favorite
When I’m singing my kids to sleep (Someday ;))
When I feel you holding me
I know
I have been blessed
And I feel like I’ve found my way
I thank God for all I’ve been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones
That love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed
Now you tell me: Does your life look different now than it did a year ago? Do you like country music? (Something about summer makes me want to listen to it all the time!) Are you all training for anything right now or getting any fun exercise in? I want to hear all about it!
