I'm feeling empowered this morning. Empowered by the fact that i am a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it, no matter how dreary the circumstances.
2008 was a life changing year for me to say the least.
It was the year i gove birth to the angel in my life who is my son.
A few years back, i used to look at mothers, the type of mothers who doted over there children, whose lives were that of there children. The type of mothers who would stay up all night with there sick child and not give it another thought.
The type of mother i thought i would never be and ended up being.
Suddenly almost a year has passed since that very day and i'm feeling empowered. Empowered by not only having bought such a life into this world but still managing to keep my dreams and goals a reality.
It was a rocky road to begin with. But a path travelled is a path mastered.
And you could say i have mastered motherhood, being a wife, and still proud of the person i am today.
I have just but a few goals to accomplish in 2009:
1.
I want and will try my hardest at returning to my home; Australia.
They say you don't know what you've got until its gone, and the things you took for granted once before are the things you will appreciate forever more.
That is so true.
Looking back at my last year in Australia, i took everything for granted.
Now almost 4 years to the day since i have stepped foot upon my motherlands beautiful shores.
I miss her more than ever. I miss the simplicity of aussie life, the way the air smells, the friendly people. I miss having my family only but a drive away. I miss the clean white sand underneath my toes. I miss the way Australia feels, from when you wake up to when you lay your head down.
And yes i even miss the beer drinking, belly bulging, pokie playin, yobbo's. I miss everything about my Australia.
Life in America is different. I won't say its worse, but it is different. And its those little differences that make you appreciate things.
I suppose i learnt the hard way that theres no place like home.
2.
To further myself in the working world. Possibly take on a leadership role of some sort. Continue to build myself from the bottom up.
Although i have no idea what i want to be when i grow up, i still want to experience and learn as much as i can.
2009 has come so quick. I remember when i sat on my couch, 14 years of age, counting down the seconds until 2000, the millenium.
How time passes us by.
