I have procrastinated doing this blog for years. I have finally realized I don't have to have eloquently written advice to be helpful to anyone, I simply will share my experiences and maybe someone will find them helpful in someway.
I am a mother, step-mother, wife, sister, aunty, nanny, friend, and student. So many roles I fill which I'm sure others can relate to, not to mention all the sub-titles that come under each of those roles, chauffeur, judge, counselor, chef, lover, disciplinarian, and organizing manager just to name a few.
My life is full of chaos and busyness I do my best to juggle and balance. I only recently reentered the world of furthering my education 18 years after graduating high school. It's been a challenge with my 50 work week as a Nanny, plus being a wife and mother, BUT it has been so fulfilling and motivating. I hope my example to my daughters teaches them not to put off something that is so important, because doing it after you have a family and need to work is incredibly exhausting.
Each tiring minute that ticks by I feel grateful for my life. I'm grateful for my charges and the joy and stress they give me each and every day. I'm grateful for the families I work for and their trusting support each year that passes by. I'm grateful for a patient husband who has tamed some of my OCD tendencies and is supportive in my education journey. I'm grateful for my daughters and the opportunity I have to be their mum. Finally I'm grateful for my Christian beliefs that help me survive every week of my life.
I hope each of you have someone to be grateful for and don't forget to tell them how much they mean to you.
Keep positive,
Tina
