5 Sharp Lives: Six Words

Six Words

I linked up to MamaKat's Workshop again. Here is the prompt I chose:
Six Word Memoir: Write about a significant time in your life in just six words.

I wish I was stronger then.

There is a very significant part of my life that I will never blog about where I wish I would have been stronger. I wish I would have known who I was. Part of me wishes I wouldn't have made the mistake, but I was stronger after it and I am stronger today because of it.

Love this Tayarra. You know, if you do ever want to share your story you can do it anonymously on Band Back Together (or at my place...I've had a few bloggers do it there before)...

We all have these times, but of course that's what made us who we are today and brought us to where we are. Just where we are meant to be. Great memoir.

I understand about having things you won't put here. I wish I was stronger then too! I wish I had known better...

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and be who I am now, but I know that all those times I wasn't as strong as I wish I'd been are what made me as strong now. Great post!

What Natalie said. If you feel like you need to talk about it, but don't want to have it attached to your name, you can post it at Bandbacktogether.com

My strongest moments have always been after my weakest.

I think all of us, at one point or another in our lives, could have been stronger, too, or smarter, or just generally better.

I also have things I'll never blog about. Perfectly understandable, since most of our readers are perfect strangers.

I think lots of us wish this. But the important thing is that you are strong now.

I often wish this too... but I am today because of all the mistakes and wrong turns.

My thoughts exactly on some stuff I too, cannot write about on my blog. Powerful words.

Oh, Love - I'm glad that you see you are stronger now. You are. You are you - because of and regardless of past actions.

I'm glad you're strong enough now to see the difference. Good for you!

I have one major regret in my life. A regret I have tried to make good and finally accepted it never will be healed. Then out of the blue in the last couple of days some hope has been renewed. I won't refer to it on my blog as it is too personal and I don't want the other person backing off by feeling exposed. What went wrong all those years ago changed me and yes, I wish I had been stronger then too. But now I am a different person as a result and I'm happy to be that person, the good, the bad and the ugly!

I have moments I wish I had been stronger for, but I wasn't where I am now then.

I feel the same way about a few moments from my past, but like you I've come to realize that they made me the strong woman I am today. There's strength and beauty in that. For both of us.

Dale

This is Dale. My Dale. The one I have spent pretty close to half of my life with. I love him. He loves God, he is strong, he provides for us, he treats me well, he makes me laugh. He's tall, dark, of course handsome, has got nice broad shoulders and a really cute butt. He is quiet and it takes quite awhile to get him to warm up, but once he does he is the best friend anyone could have. He is a great dad and his boys are his soft spot. I love spending my life with him. He makes everything ok when things are hard and he is my calm in the midst of a storm ... most of the time. I.LOVE.HIM!

Wyatt

This is our hilarious, sweet, cuddly, 5 year old boy, Wy Wy. He likes things his way and on his time. He is the best big brother around these parts. He is known to say "I love you, Mommy" out of the clear blue sky at home and in public. It's the best and usually gets quite a few "awe's" in public. He has got an amazing talent for sports already and has an arm that will surprise you. We love him to death and he brings us so much joy. He can also tell a story with the best of them and repeat almost any line from Sandlot, I know not all of them need to be repeated. He will start acting out scenes to movies at the oddest of times, but is always good for a laugh. (Click on the picture for Wyatt's birth story.)

Waylon

This is our 3 year old Waylonator or Wayners as his daddy calls him or Nayners as I like to call him now. He is the chubby little guy that has completely stolen our hearts. He loves to run naked around the house. He learns a ton from his brother. He can repeat anything you say to him, and understand most of it. He loves to dance, slide, play outside, wrestle, and bite his big brother. We don't have to worry about him sticking up for himself. He's got that covered. He sleeps like a champ and always has. His cuddle side is coming out, but he teases you 1st. He makes my heart swell. He finally calls me mommy now and momma on occasion. I might even get some "mom's" in there. He is so different from his brother it is amazing. Watching these two form such a tight brotherly bond brings us such joy. They truly love and enjoy each other. Nothing makes us happier! (Click on the picture for Waylon's birth story.)

Weston

This little guy is Weston. He was born on 1/25/11, 6lbs 15oz 21in. He is tall. He is already getting close to outgrowing the bassinet because of his length. He eats a ton and keeps me stressed out about my milk supply. He LOVES his brothers! You won't hear a peep out of him if one of them is holding him. They love him too! He's starting to smile and be more awake. There's nothing better than new smiles on a new face. He sleeps well at night and doesn't take too many naps during the day. He's starting to like baths. One thing you can always find him doing is squirming! He's been like this since the first time I felt him in my belly. We love what he brings to our family.
