There have been many ups and downs in my life.. as most of us can agree.. life has a way of keeping us on our toes. In my 20's I was a force to reckon with.. no one was right but me. I would rather sever a relationship before admitting defeat. I was obnoxious and single minded.. and I became a mom for the first and second time... nothing like the feeling of getting your guts ripped out of you (twice) to put life into perspective. As I charged into my 30's I softened a bit... heh heh.. a little bit.. I was still opinionated and staunch in my battles, but when you have two little boys things get messy, don't go as planned and somedays pajamas are your whole wardrobe. As I eased into my 40's (now mom to number three) I still stand by my convictions but I have a better sense of when to hold and when to fold. Loss, Gain, Triumph, Love, Hate, Defeat, Sorrow, Grief, Joy, Happiness, Laughter, Tears... through it all we need to bend or we will break.
