How proud are you? Of yourself, of others or even just a situation that was handled. This is something I've been handling on the inside and I felt the need to get it out.
Before quitting my job, my husband and I had a long conversation about financial security and if we could even do this. Of course we make this happen and we do the best that we can for our family. It's not just about newest clothes or most updated movies. Quality time with each other making forts or reading stories. From my childhood those are the things that I remember. With us being adults and having to walk a fine line between being a child or an adult and especially if you are recently married its even harder to find where you fit. During this time I was nervous but I knew that I could do it. So I needed some backup, I went to my guru, my Mr. Miyagi about life, my know it all, My mom. I asked her, are you proud of what I've done?
The crazy thing is, she couldn't give me an answer. All I received was, whats best for you and your family, that's something that only you can know. How proud am I of myself? Do I still need my mothers approval for what I'm doing? There are moments where I'm not sure of what I'm doing but I feel like I'm doing a good job. Sometimes at the end of the day you just need someone to hug you, and tell you, Yes I'm proud of you and you are doing an amazing job.
To all of the moms, step moms, grand-moms dads, step dads and granddad, here is your virtual hug. Yes, I am proud of you for being selfless and putting others before you. Yes, I am proud of you for putting yourself on hold, your life, your job, or even being able to work and take care of your family at the same time. You are doing an amazing job.
