Choosing to take Inventory ...

Right now, I'm in a phase of reflection, where I'm carefully considering the decisions I've made, both the wise ones and the ones I wish I could take back. It's a time of really thinking about who I let into my inner circle my family and friends and how those choices impact not just my life, but also the future of my sons.

I'm taking a closer look at myself, too. I'm getting a clear picture of what I'm good at and where I struggle. This process is helping me set clearer goals and understand what matters to me as both a woman and a mother. I'm realizing that in the past, I didn't give enough thought to these things, and it affected the kinds of relationships I had and the things I tolerated.

But now, as I go through this inventory of my life, I'm learning to be more accepting. I'm accepting people for who they are and situations for what they are. It's becoming easier to understand that it's natural to have differences and that not everyone sees the world the same way I do. I'm also realizing that it's not fair to try to change someone to fit my idea of who they should be.

So, this process isn't just about looking back it's about moving forward with a better understanding of myself and others. It's about embracing the complexities of my relationships and finding a sense of peace in accepting things as they are.
