Growing up all over again

I actually have a pretty good life.  It's what I know and I have also been told.  Sometimes I forget to tap into the greatness and the gratefulness that I know dwells within my heart and mind. I do believe I am someone who is afraid of success. I've thought this over many times over the years.  I never saw myself learning more to do in life.  I'm not someone who has had many jobs in my life. I worked as a nursing assistant since I was 18yrs.  Before that, I worked in a kitchen as a dietary aid. AND before that I worked at 2 different restaurants.  So truthfully, my whole life has been about helping others, putting others first.  And of course when I started my family.. No one could argue about who came first in my house.. Yes, it was the children. I can no longer do the work I use to.. Taking care of people is no longer an option.  I have a huge job just caring for myself.  However It does seem strange to not have anyone to care for or about.  Don't get me wrong, I care about people! especially my family, but they don't need me making decisions for them anymore. I once made decisions for people, on a small scale.. but nonetheless I was helpful to them. Helping them decide what was going to be done to facilitate the night/evening/day.  When my life did a 180.. I feel as if yes, it went backwards.  I was now in the role of having decisions being made for me.   I felt so powerless.  My self esteem was never that great, and my decline in life did not help.  But here I am 3 yrs in, cancer free! ready to rock my life again.  It's as if God gave me a do over.  And he has placed tools and people in my life to help me grow up.. all over again. 

Thank you for dropping by!💙
