Day 10 of the 10 Days of Thanksgiving Crochet Event 2018

Thankful for Who I am today

Picture
Let's be real for a minute.  Life can be rough!  We ALL have our struggles.  For years, I struggled with being alone and wondering what was so wrong with me that someone wouldn't sincerely love me.  I had my oldest daughter to take care of and was able to spend a lot of time with family so that helped to a point.  I dated now and then but it never seemed to work out.  Finally, I learned to just let go, not worry so much about what others thought of me, be happy with who I was.  I still had my daughter, extended family, my job and my friends.  
When I least expected it, I met my husband, we got married and had 3 more sweet girls.  I still have my struggles now and then just like everyone does.  Surely, I'm not here just to be a maid, secretary, cook and driver.  Do they really appreciate me?  (The answer is yes!) 
Some days, I can look in the mirror and be really hard on myself.  Most other days, I know I'm the best ME that I can be.  You see, I'm not rich or famous but I'm important.  *I* can make a difference in other's lives.  *I* can be a friend to those in need.  *I* can be the best mom my girls need in their lives.  *I* can teach them to be kind and loving.  *I* can use the talents I've been given to bless others lives.... *I* can do SO many things if I put my mind to it!
I have learned so much over the years.  I have grown to love who I am now.  Are there things I don't like about my past?  You bet! (doesn't everyone?)  Would I go back and do it over again?  Well, there are a few things I would change, but for the most, the answer is no.  The dumb mistakes I've made have been learning blocks for me.  The choices I've made have made me who I am today.  Am I perfect?  NOPE!  Not even close.  I'm trying to be better though and as long as I'm aware of my weaknesses and working to be better, that's all I can expect from myself.    So, yes, I am thankful for who I am today!

I've said it before but I want to say it again:
YOU are Amazing!  YOU are loved!  YOU are talented!  YOU are important!  Nobody else can make a better you! 

I hope you have enjoyed the 10 Days of Thanksgiving Crochet Event!  I appreciate you joining us and commenting with the things you are thankful for too.  It's been great to get to know you and I hope to see you more.💕

    Hey there!  Thank you for joining my blog here at Crafting Friends Designs. Grab your hook, some yarn and get comfy as we crochet some fun, unique and beautiful projects together.  
    I'm Kate and crochet is my passion.  I've been crocheting for 30+ years and as you can see from the selection of designs on my site, blankets are my obsession.  I absolutely love creating something that will wrap my love around friends and family when they're in need of comfort. 
    Having 4 beautiful girls of my own has also inspired many infant, toddler and child size dresses.  They are my biggest cheerleaders and have enjoyed wearing the things I've made them.  

    ​If you love what you see, please leave a comment and let me know!
