In the past twelve months I have grown.
I became me.
I was lost, but now I am found.
I have started living life how I want to live it.
I have let my hair go a beautiful silver white. This does not mean I have let myself go, although the world may think so. I love my new colour and have embraced it fully.
Grey? Well so what!
I stand up for myself more.
I choose for myself, not what others think I should choose.
I make my own decisions, not have others make them for me.
I do what I want, not what others think I want.
I was and still am a peace maker.
I was and still am a mother.
I was and still am a wife.
But in a different role.
Take me as I am.
I am me.
Here Here!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
Thank you Cheryl.
DeleteThese are just random thoughts that entered my head last night. I have always done things to please others therefore putting my needs on hold, now I will consider my needs more :)
I haven't decided how I would like to use this page, but for now it may be used for this type of post. I think we all need encouragement to be who we really are, not who we are expected to be :)
Hope you are having a nice day,
xTania
Tania, I love your silver hair. I think the older you get the more confidence you have to stand up for yourself and not be swayed by what others think you should do and be.
ReplyDeleteDear Nanna Chel,
DeleteI think you are right about confidence becoming stronger and standing up for oneself comes with age.
I have never been a confident person, quite the introvert in fact. I have always felt like I was being judged about everything I did in life. In actuality it probably didn't happen. I was scared of failure, and now I realise that it is from these failures that we learn important lessons in life. I think it goes way back to school days when this extremely shy girl was bullied, and my confidence was stolen. Now that I am older, I really don't care for others opinions, unless they come with good intentions. Wish I could have stood up better for myself throughout my life, but there is no time like the present to start :)
Thank you for listening,
xTania
Congratulations!! Hello YOU, may you flourish in all ways.
ReplyDeleteThank you for listening Candace. I was feeling as though I needed to write my thoughts and so I did.

Hello from another Tania with an I! I am in Melbourne, I look forward to reading your blog. Where in Oz are you? cheers
ReplyDeleteWelcome Tania!
DeleteThank you for dropping by this little blog that I am trying to revive. I live on 2.5 acres just out of Port Augusta, South Australia. I post more often over at my Out Back blog if you are interested. I am trying to create this page as a sort of refuge, a peaceful place to come. Its a work in progress at the moment :)

ReplyDeletenot many have the confidence to be themselves, there's always others we're looking after or there are others offering opinions about how we should live & what we should look like ... been there. branching off on my own to look after my kids i found myself & lots of people didn't like it;
enjoy the freedom it brings
thanx for sharing
Thank you so much Selina xxx
DeleteTHIS! This is absolute perfection, Tania, and so very necessary for most of us! I'm so much more comfortable in my skin now that I'm older, and only worrying about being the best that I can be!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate, and so true about becoming ourselves as we grow older. I wish I had done it a lot sooner.
