I get a little bit stronger each day

I have been working on myself for a little over one week now, focusing on my feelings, writing, reading, & not centering my time on distractions.  Because of it, I know that I am slowly starting to forgive myself and to continue to focus on all the blessings in my life.  I have returned to prayer...each night my daughter and I pray together, and it feels good to turn to Him again.  He was always my strength and I turned away because I thought He turned his back on me.  I feel a sense of happiness coming back into my life, and I feel more positive.  I listen to songs now, songs that used to make me angry or sad, and I sing along and smile instead of the alternative.  For two years my life has centered around all of the negativity and things I can't control, and I've been so bogged down with it that it feels so good to smile and not fake the smile.  It feels good to laugh and really enjoy the moment of laughter.  I can't wait to continue on this new journey.  I no longer want to live in the past; I want to feel & truly enjoy my present.  Each new day I'm blessed with is a new day to live my life.  I have a right to be happy :).
