A Wrinkle from My Brain

Work:
Just when I thought my hard efforts went unnoticed, I was praised by someone I truly respect and look up to. When I felt like the stress on my face wasn't shouting out for help, someone lent a hand. When my forehead hit my keyboard I thought my questions were left out to die but then my phone rang and I found my answer. I sat at my desk, staring at all the accounts I've worked on for years, I could see the account numbers giving me devious looks. My day was over, but there is still Friday...

Kids:
I've become such a better story reader at bedtime; I'm now the bubble monster at bath time; I've become a good story teller during dinner time; I have noticed more bruises on my legs from my kids throwing the football to me. All of these things are my 6 year old's opinion, he tells me he's lucky to have a cool mom but hates when his friends ask to come over to see his mom! My 2 year old thinks I'm a fairy and that I must know Tinkerbell. Our tradition is star shaped pancakes.

Friends:
I've recently become like the relationship expert in the Cosmo section. I've had friends ask for advice that I am more than willing to give! These friends are my amazing tools to friendship, I cherish them and respect their sensitive situations. I feel I learned a lot from my marriage and that now that it is over I can apply the wrongs and rights to my friends and help them see the big picture as to which battles to fight for. In return, they also give me great advice.

Me:
I'm becoming content with myself. My high expectations for life are still there, but I've seen them come out recently and it has me thinking. I can be competitive but friendly, I can seem unsure, but I stay confident, I am very proactive, but still ask questions. I hold my head high and slightly beneath the clouds. When I want something I do my best to get it, when I don't want it I can assure myself to never reach for it. I can feel myself maturing, becoming a women and finding things about me that I never knew were there. I am proud of myself.
