I was fresh out of university and ready to take on the world. Going into this decade I found myself at the start of what appeared to be an excellent career. However, whilst the money was good, the job brought stagnation, stress, long hours, self doubt and a loss of confidence. Luckily, for the first few years it was a fun team to be part of and we all had a good sense of humour. As it so often happens in life, as the work team started to fall apart midway through the decade, my home life started to come together. The second half of the decade gave me my husband and the start of our own little family. The years haven\u2019t been without heartache but my wonderful husband works so hard to heal some of the wounds that this decade has left. I may not be the determined and headstrong woman I entered 2010 as but I am filled with a more mature strength; to calmly endure what I must, be passionate enough to change what I can and to quietly walk away from unnecessary pain or aggravation. Whilst things haven\u2019t always happened as quickly as I wished, it is for good reason. Each situation has helped me to learn a lesson and in the end things have always worked out for the best. Over the last few years it is unbelievable how much my life has changed and blossomed. This decade has been a rollercoaster of emotions and learning. However, I am grateful for the years and the experiences they have given me. I am proud of the changes I have made and hopefully the next few years will see me making a few more. I can honestly say our current life brings so much joy. I feel I am finally on track again to where I want to be and look forward to the challenges and rewards that the next decade may bring!<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- .entry-footer -->\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I left the last decade as a strong, independent and confident young woman.
