Keep on climbing... Step 1

Being down is a dark place to be. It can sometimes feel like sitting in the bottom of a deep, muddy pit, trying to climb to the top, to the light, only to claw and claw and end up slumpde in a heap at the bottom again. That's how I would describe it snywya, no matter how hard you try, or how hard you work you don't get anywhere and still end up feeling useless..... well I have had a good hard word with myself over the last few months and I am determined to climb out of this pit and change things!!! So..... here my mission begins!. Step 1 - Be thankful for what you already have. Sometimes this is so hard, even though you know that you have positives and achievements in life, it is hard to appreciate them when you are in a dark place, whic in turn leaves you feeling guilty for not apprecitating the little things, this in turn leads you to feel even worse! So what are the good things?? Job Family/ children Friends money?? ... for some maybe security The list could be endless.... the truth is this will depend on the individual. I have spent a long time in my life loooking at others around me and wanting what they have, or thinking I am not good enough because I am not like them, when in fact I do have positive, good things in my life, it is just taking a while fo rme to see them and stop comparing to others!!.. So this is my step one on the road to recovery and I am sure i will move onwards and upwards!! Step 2 to follow Bye for now /

Back to life!

Hi everyone, so it's time to get back into the "writing seat", it's been a while, the blog has been neglected some what, but we are back and raring to go!.

I find writing to be the best form of therapy and outlet, and oh my is there a lot to out let!.

So my amazing little man is 5 years old now and in school. We now have a lovely little home as opposed to the slug infested dump we lived in before. I have a decent job which I am loving!. Don't get  me wrong though it has been a struggle to get us to this point in our lives!, it seems when you try your hardest to come out from under you are met with every obstacle imaginable... but no moaning today because we are here!!!.

So what next? ... get even further up if we can is the answer to that one!.

After coming out of a difficult relationship which has destroyed all self esteem and self worth it is going ot be difficult to rise above, however I am a firm believer in goals and dreams, they keep me going and motivated. I am going to list my goals, dreams and wishes and hopefully over the coming years I will succeed in realising them for me and my little man. I have decided that I am not going to let anybody get in my way anymore, I am going to work my hardest and overcome every single challenge that I am met with.... and I am prepared for many. My blog is going to be used to record our progress and also to evaluate any ingteresting challenges that are faced!. I hope you will join us on our journey and that you also relaise your hopes and dreams! Good luck everyone!!

Bye for now.
