Now I Can Breathe

Finally, tax season is over! It was a very toxic last 2 weeks for me. Now I can relax for a while. I just hope my tax money will go where it should.

Unfortunately, I missed Lasting Impression's Cosmo Cricket Challenge. My LO is still undone as are my other LOs. I hope to finish it soon.

Meanwhile, here's my LO for Scrapbytes March Challenge. It didn't win but it was "honorably mentioned" because of the (loooong) journaling. Yay! Thanks, Scrapbytes! :)

Title: Remember When
Journaling: I can't believe it's been 20 years since this photo was taken. I was just getting out of college, lighthearted and full of hope. I remember having big dreams for myself - family, business, travel, and money. That was then.
This is my life now. I have a loving family, I manage my small business, I've traveled a few times, and I'm living a fairly comfortable life. It's funny how things don't always go as planned.

Looking back, I realize how much I've changed - now older, more mature, more responsible, and [hopefully] wiser - and yet remain the same lighthearted and optimistic girl in college. And I still have my dreams of family and security but this time they're all for my son.

I think I did okay in the last 2 decades. I may not be living my dream but I am most certainly living my life. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
