Life...

• I have been alive almost 45 years.
• I have been married almost 25 of those years.
• I cannot remember much of my life.
• Time tends to blur things.
• I really do not like politics.
• They are all liars.
• Republicans and Democrats alike. 
• I am selfish.
• Sometimes I want to be alone with no children and no husband and no pets.
• If I knew then what I know now, things would be different.
• I would never choose to parent a mentally challenged child.  
• Because I am selfish.
• As I get older, and closer to death, I think more about me instead of others.
• What have I done with my life? Is it everything I want?
• Because I am selfish.
• But being selfish isn't a bad thing to me.  Not anymore.
• I need to be me.  
• Being me makes me happy.
• For 18 years I was Olaf's wife.
• Now I am Misty.
• Strong.
• Independent.
• Self sufficient.
• Funny.
• Authentic.
• Yes...transparent and authentic.
