body and mind

I am a 45 year old woman and a single mom who love her children very deeply with all her heart; I also love animals and nature. I leave my life everyday like there is no tomorrow. Right now my family and I we are going through a really though times, because my husband and I we are separating. This would affect in a negative way to my children, I really hope this separation will be for the best for everyone, but I can not help thinking how hard this separation would be for my children. While me being a full time mom, full time worker, I am a part time student working toward my AA right now, and also working toward my transfer in the near future. I am a kind-hearted person who loves those closest to me, a person who tends to live her life with an open mind, but my life was not that smooth as I mentioned before. When I moved to USA I was 17 years old. I left my whole family, life has been tough, being the only one here in USA and being thousand and thousand of miles away from my family were really thought, especially whenever I needed my family I felt alone, but my friends become my family and if it wasn't for my friends, I don't know where I'd be right now. I guess my past experiences define who I am today; they help me to face any challenges head-on.

All this past experiences helped me to see things differently these days, especially now that I am a mom. In order to function well, I have to be well, know my body and help myself to recognize how I can help myself and my children. It also helped me to have an open mind. Nowadays, I find myself relaxed when am in tough situations, and I think that I'll remain like that for years to come. I also believe that those experiences will help me to speak to my children, help them have a peace of mind. I tend to think rationally, and my kind nature is still intact. So I guess the saying is true, your past experiences influence who you are or who you will be in future. It is something that will help you become wiser as time goes by. All you have to do is learn from your mistakes or rather, other people's mistakes.
