Finding herself

     She walks along the shore, feeling the sand between her toes. Feeling the wind rustle gently through her hair, where she's going... She doesn't know.

    Her mind is full of thoughts, in search of that happiness that everyone boasts about. As the waves flow over her feet.. She begins to smile, laugh, run and shout.

    Realizing life is what we make of it, if there's something we don't like, change it.  Time waits for no one, so get up and run.. Don't sit .

     Love the ones who love you, never go to bed angry or mad. Sing your favorite songs out loud and try never to be sad.

     She realized the smiles on her children's faces were worth more than a trip to France. Ice cream cones, bikes, and waiting for the rain to sing and dance.

     Headed back home, with her thoughts more focused and her tears gone.. Looking forward to her future, never before had she felt so strong.
