It was suggested by someone this weekend that I was lucky in life. This was someone I considered to be a friend. Lest anyone else think I'm "lucky", I feel the need to set the record straight.
You don't make a mess out of your life like I have and crawl back up and then give Lady Luck the credit. My bachelors and two masters have nothing to do with luck. It has ALOT to do with hard work and determination. The fact that I have a roof over my head that is finally furnished the way that I want it to be has nothing to do with luck. I worked 10+ years to be able to do this. My children being happy and healthy have nothing to do with luck, but everything do with me trying to be the best mother I can be.
So before you ever think about calling me lucky, don't. You don't see the hard work, the drive and the determination it takes to be me. You don't see the effort behind every step. You don't hear the internal monologue I keep with myself as I push to keep going. You most certainly don't get to see me break down when I think I can't go on.
So before you insult me by giving luck the credit, realize that I'm THAT good to make it look THIS easy.

*I was going to leave this on my Facebook page but decided to make it public. This is something I love about myself. My determination to make my life better.
