Waiting for Life to Start

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last, it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." - Alfred D'Souza

LIFE, it seems such a common word, something easily taken for granted. And yet, all the time it is passing us by, happening all arround us. Most of my life I have found this above quote to be quite poignant, especially in light of my history with the witnesses. But while I was waiting, the life I longed for was passing me by. It was right there for the taking the entire time.

Now when I read this phrase it has a new meaning, it conveys a sense of accomplishment, a monumental recognition that must never be squandered.

About Me

I am a young mother of 2 preschoolers. I have overcome many changes and challenges in my life and am eager to see the world and show my children that there is more to life than the little space they inhabit. I am blessed to have the freedoms and opportunities I have and hope to never take a single one for granted.
