Well finally i have moved forward to make a new start in my life. I am actually going back to school....it's offical...got my letter of acceptance today....wow...mind blowing for me.
Here I sit 49, widow and guess what it's ok....amazing what progress and working a wondferful program and above all having faith in God can do for a person.
Well here's to the past of hurt, anger wanting to lay in bed and never get out....and living with addiction.....i can only hope and pray it stays there.
I feel like my life is beginning for the second time......I am so nervous yet at the same time excited....I am going for medical billing and coding......I never thought i would get to this point in my life yet here I sit...a new beginning.
My daughter is in college, my son is about to graduate high school...and by some grace of God I am starting college.....32 yrs after graduation.
I am so proud for gietting off of the pitty pot and moving forward.....i am grateful that my life is moving forward.....I am happy....wow....what a satement......
If I can get here so can all of you.....hope is a wonderful thing.
I have a friend of mine, whose Mom lost her hubby to Lou Gehrig's disease when he was 59, she was 55..... She didn't even have her grade 12 at the time, but was facing the prospect of loneliness, had never worked, etc..... She decided to go to school.... she started by getting her high school equivalency.... then went to university.... got her undergraduate degree.... then her Master's.... then accepted a scholarship to do her PHD in England, and is now 75, and has a PHD under her belt!!!
It is a remarkable thing you are doing..... Yay!!
