Any one reading this who does not believe their life is wonderful, look deep inside yourself, and try to discover what is missing. Maybe you are thinking that you have tried this before, or that it is too much like hard work and you are content with second best. It is worth it, living a full and happy contented life only comes with you knowing yourself, loving yourself and believing in yourself.
We all have challenges in our lives, big ones, small ones, urgent ones, challenges that we may not care to admit to, but challenges should never be allowed to stop us living our life the way we deserve or the way we want to.

My challenges come and go, and they may set me back for a while but then I look at my wonderful family, hear the birds singing in our garden, and I look forward to another busy day where I can do something I really love and I feel truly blessed.
I have a challenge to cope with very soon; my youngest child, my daughter, is leaving for the UK and she will be gone for 6 weeks. Not only is this the first time she has gone on such a long trip so far away from us, this is the moment I realised that she is now an adult. This is the beginning of the rest of her life as an independent young lady. I think because she is my last child to “leave the nest” as they say it is a bit more difficult and the gap she will leave behind is huge. On a positive note I am delighted that she is taking this opportunity that she has worked very hard for, to travel and enjoy her freedom before she starts college.
My daughter is the wonder in my life, along with my husband and 3 sons. My life is wonderful and only I can make sure it stays like that. I try to focus on the positives in my life and even though I will miss my daughter very much I look forward to her return, the hugs and kisses and listening to her chattering on about her trip to the UK and the wonders that she experienced and the many new friends she made.
Remember, when you wake up tomorrow morning, make the first thing you think about: how wonderful your life is and what you think can lead to what really is.
