We’ve all got things in life that have knocked us down, drained us emotionally, and, ultimately, made us stronger. Women, I think, bear the brunt of any setback (large or small) twice as much as men. We constantly struggle to keep it all together for ourselves and our families. This recent economic downturn affected my family, as it has with countless others. I count my blessings every single day and give thanks for the roof over my head, the job I was fortunate to keep, and the cars in the driveway but it hasn’t been easy keeping it all together. The activities we’ve missed, the groceries we’ve had to skimp on, and the clothes and shoes we’ve had to stretch was a hard pill for me to swallow but I had to for two very simple reasons:
Those kids make every decision I make and every morning I get up to go to work worthwhile and have made me 2X’s stronger! Never underestimate the power of a mom – we always do what we have to to take care of our little people. Knowing they’re healthy and well make everything else secondary. They make me strive to be a better person and someone they can look up to everyday.
