04 JanDay 104 – A Decade of Change

Limbo Land Day Nine - results in a couple of hours, a have a feeling that not all is right, that something is wrong, i have a pain in my left hand side and i am worried...

However i have just been inspired by my great friends at The Road to Happily Ever After and His & Hers Infertility

Life is hard, life has its ups and downs, and while sometimes it is easy to hate the world, and to hate God, and to curse everything and everyone, it is the good things that we should focus on, and the achievements that we have made that make us who we are today.  I have decided that no matter the outcome, and no matter how bad the road ahead is, no matter how good or bad my situation is, i am going to get through this, a week ago i had no hope, but then the tides turned, and whether the tides turn for the worst, or for the better again today, i know i can get through it and i will get through it and i will be a better person for it.

Now for my decade of change - from 17 to 27... and while i cant remember the years (like PCOS Chick!) i can remember that my decade didnt completely suck, and it has gone a little something like this...

Thank you girls, as i look at this list, the past ten years has been awesome, and while 2009 was dreadful and 2010 has started on rocky grounds, it has been an experience, and one day i will be telling someone somewhere about my experience, and all that i have gained...
