Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time...

...I looked forward to Christmas to see what presents I would get
......now I look forward to seeing the smiles on the faces of the people I give gifts to

Once upon a time...

...I wanted nothing more than to be a mom
......now I am living my dream and loving every second of it

Once upon a time...

...I didn't know how it felt to watch my child hurt
......now I feel my heart break every time they shed a tear

Once upon a time...

...I thought I would need money to be happy
......now I know that I can make my own happiness out of nothing

Once upon a time...

...I believed that my weight defined me
......now I know I am more than a number on the scale

Once upon a time...

...I met a wonderful man who gave me three amazing children
......now I know what unconditional love is
