So what, I've spent the last 5 years and some months, taking care of everyone and everything but  myself.  So this year, i'm going to be a bit SELFISH.  YES I SAID IT.  I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY AND MAKE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT ME.

1ST, I will wake up every morning and put extra care into my appearance.  When I tell you that I would go to work and not care what I looked like because I was always tired and stressed. NOT THIS YEAR!  My first day back to work, I had on heels, a nice skirt, makeup and jewelry, couldn't nobody tell me anything.

I come home and I take pride in my new place.  I make even more time to talk with my daughter and play and just relax in general.  Instead of just going to sleep, I do my chores with a smile on my face and some pep to my step.  I am developing a new me.

Can you feel where I'm coming from?  I have to make myself happy in order for everything else to be right and that's all that I want to do from now on....

I wish I had your courage. Maybe one day I'll be strong enough to stand up for me for once.
