I have the habit of seeing the glass half full, no matter what happens to me, I think that other people are having a worse time, maybe it is a defense mechanism, but it has worked quite well for me and allows me to be thankful for what I do have.

I like to write in positive, not because my life is perfect or easy, not that I myself apply everything I say, however, I think that by repeating to myself every day, the good of everything, can bring me closer to convince me that everything will be fine. There are wounds that time does not heal, or rather, I have not found a way to heal them.

Most of what hurts me comes from the past and I can't even count it, but who said life is easy?

A few or many wounds, are not enough reason to give up, as human beings, our instinct is survival, so we can only dry our tears, clean our knees and move on, and that's what we women are good at.

I feel I have been strong and brave, but it hasn't even been my will, it's really because I have had no other choice, I can only cry in my down time, otherwise, I can't stop.

Even so, I consider that what I have lived, does not compare to what so many other people live, so, when I feel sad, I ask for forgiveness to God, who has never forsaken me.

When I put on a scale what I feel I have lost and what I have received, it tips in my favor. How could I pay for the joy of seeing my children healthy and happy? As a priest in a church I used to attend used to say: "Life would not be enough for me".

It is also a grace received, the ability to face everything with fortitude and wisdom. Faith helps me a lot to believe that everything will be all right, although I confess that I think that if I had enough, my heart would feel better.

Women have the ability to think of others before we think of ourselves, to assume responsibilities with integrity, to be courageous whenever necessary.

We are also a mine of emotions, yet we have the necessary control to put each one in its place and not let them get in our way.

We are very fragile, it is true, but with an inner strength that overcomes our fragility, many times our motivation is not even our own well-being, but that of those around us and much more that of those we love.

I understand that what I have lived through has made me who I am now and that each lesson I have learned has guaranteed my survival, nothing happens without a reason, it is just that we do not have the discernment to see it at the moment.

The value of the treasure I have now is worth every obstacle I have overcome and those I have yet to overcome.

At the end of the story, I feel proud and grateful to have been born a woman.
