So this probably isn't going to be interesting to anyone but me, but here goes.  This isn't about some great adventure.  This isn't about great places I have visited (although there have been quite a few.).  This isn't about the great people that I have met along the way(although there have been some great ones).  This is about my journey of the last twenty years or so.  I suppose you could consider it about the journey that I have been on since the day that I was born, although I would never had seen it that way at the time.  It is about loving and hating, losing faith and then finding it again in the most glorious way.  It is about the journey of a wife, parent, daughter, and friend.  This is my journey.  It is probably very different from yours.  Like I said it may be of the slightest interest to you,if not no offense taken.

When I think about this life journey of mine the words calm and peaceful do not i e to mind.  I have always know that I have an interesting view of the world, especially the spiritual one.  I have walked around with more anger and hate in my heart than I ever thought possible.  I have also been able to see beauty in even the littlest of things.  Things that many overlook I. The business of their lives.  O think I what you would call low maintenance as it does not take much to make me happier than  kid in a candy store. The other side is that I love fiercely, and my The Lord help you if you ever mess with my family.  I was not born with a filter.  Whatever thought that occurs to me at the time is usually out of my mouth within seconds.  This character flaw has gotten me in more than a little bit of trouble over the years both professionally and personally.  The good part is most of the times you know exactly what is going through my head at any particular moment.  So basically you can know that what is posted here is basically what I am thinking at the time.

Oh another thing you should k ow about me is that I am a control freak.  I am also a Christian.  On the surface you would not think these two things would be a conflict but believe me these two parts of my personality clash all the time.  I am very blessed, there is no doubt in my mind about that.  Have you ever thought that you could not do it anymore and the world would be better off without you, and then all of sudden something or someone comes into your life and turns everything araround like flipping a coin.  That was what happened to me the day I met my husband.  He is a shining light I all the darkness and confusion in this world.  This is how I know that God exists.  He brought this wonderful person to me and mad him my everything.  Together we have created a wonderful family and existence.  We brought two bright and talented children into this world, who face their own struggles knowing they always have our love and support.  We have an abundance of love that goes outtie very child who walks through our door for whatever the reason.  We are blessed with wonderful family and friends,who supports in our darkest times.  We have a home, plenty of food and all our needs met.  All of this is thanks to God.  I know that better than anyone.

Again, this may not e of I Teresa to you, but this is my life and how I got one wherei am today.  The road has been rough, but it is totally worth it.  Maybe someone will benefit from reading this and my life stories maybe not.  Guess only time will tell.
