becoming grounded

 The people that we become are a product of our choices and also things that are far beyond anyones control, lately I have been thinking about this a lot. How we can so easily forget who we are and where we have come from... how to get where we are going. I won't get into details but, with huge changes I think it's very easy to fall off track. I certainly have done that, but I am feeling especially grounded lately. That I can say I am back in touch with myself, my standards, my expectations in life... I hate that I lost myself for awhile there... I really do. I guess the only good thing that comes from our mistakes are the lessons we learn from them.
