A Year Ago Today

caco_ethes

A lot can happen in a year’s time. What did your life look like a year ago? What have you changed? What has changed you? Big things, little things, it’s all welcome. If you happen to have pics from a year ago today, throw them up here alongside a pic from today.

I'm still expecting someone from the Great Britain to deliver my McDonald's szechuan sauce by way of boat. I can't remember but I either won it in a contest or called dibs on it.

A year ago today I was adjusting to living the single life. Setting up my new home, figuring out how to pay bills on less income, and dating. Truthfully i was not doing the best at the time. I was choosing to put myself in risky horrible situations. And always calling my ex for help, reassurance, guidance or to just vent...



This pic is awful but a great representation...a year ago today I stopped calling my ex and i stood on my own 2 feet. No dating, no debit, just content.

A year ago I took my daughter swimsuit shopping and I was inspired by the delighted way she looked at herself in her suit. Kinda felt like everyone deserves to feel this way.

A year ago today at my house looked very much like today, except the kids were shorter and I was fatter. 😂 This is the only photo I took that day - Arthur intently watching the little boys playing soccer out front.

I love this...i remember once there was a time i loved bathing suit shopping. In the summers i lived at the pool. No worries or cares about my body.

A year ago today I was living in a very difficult situation. I DID go to the gym a lot and had lost a bunch of weight before my son was born and I found it again. My life was constant tension and I am VERY glad to be out of that

Is it weird that I would take the food over the car?

A year ago today my family and I were in a nice cozy mountain cabin outside of Pagosa Springs for the 4th of July weekend. This year we are at home and will be going to the local parade on Wednesday. Biggest change from a year ago is moving into a new, larger home...which is nice because we felt like we were tripping over each other constantly at our old place. I miss my backyard patio though...I had a sweet outdoor kitchen.

A year ago today, I was in Colorado healing the heart & soul after going through a really tough time dealing with a miscarriage. I had made my final decision on that trip that I wasn't going to try again. Little did I know, I was already carrying another gift.

I was 6 months pregnant. And feeling pretty weird about having started a new job a few weeks prior. But, a year later I am super happy I made the move even if the timing was odd.

A year ago today, I was 20 lbs lighter, and could get around better..

I was in a good place.

A year ago I was reeling from being officially divorced. I was mourning and angry over the relationship that I never had and fearful that the damage done to me would be irreparable and that my ex would stop putting effort into being a father now that everything was official and he had no one to prove himself to externally.

Now I am happy. I am a fine piece of jewelry, refined like gold and silver inlaid with diamonds (time and incredible pressure). I'm so shiny; like the treasure from a sunken pirate's wreck; scrub the deck and make me look shiny! My ex has lived up to my expectations; but I no longer concern myself over his life choices. I just make sure my kids have a rock in me to build the foundations of their characters on

I'm waiting on Facebook to remind me what I was doing a year ago.

A year ago today I took my boy to the Ripley’s Aquarium as a kick off to summer break. I had miscarried my second baby the day prior and got a call from my mother that the doctors believed my Grandma had brain cancer that day.I was in a job that I liked but didn’t love and decided on the way to the aquarium I’d open myself up to other options if they came my way.

A year later, we’re going back to the Aquarium but not today. My heart has healed because I finally stopped ignoring it and allowed myself to feel what I needed too. My Grandma doesn’t have brain cancer, thank God. I am in a new job that I absolutely love. And I am happier than I have been in a long while.

I love seeing posts like this!

I don't remember what I was doing 1 year ago today but I do know I was in a very dark place. After 20 years of being with my ex husband, he left us and choose his addictions over his family. I was feeling lost, scared , I didn't know how I was going to get through this and how I was going to stay strong for my kids. I didn't want them to see how weak I was.

Today, I still have my bad days, sad days but I've also realized that I am happier now than I ever was. I am finaly living for me and learned to put myself and my needs first. I'm doing everything I wanted to do that I couldn't do before. I'm happy and the most important thing is that my kids are happy. I did it... all on my own and I'm still doing it. It has not been a great year but the next one will be.

Wow. I didn’t know this about you. Thanks for sharing. You really never know what people are going through.
