 <title>Living On My Own Terms</title>
 <link>http://www.firstwivesworld.com/community/vibrant-voices/taylor-raine/living-my-own-terms</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;You know, 2008 has been a pretty good year so far. Easy, not so much — I&#039;ve been posed with so many personal challenges, but I feel good about the decisions I&#039;ve made that will keep me going through the year. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;School is going well. I&#039;m focused and able to manage the schedule fairly well. Now, mind you, I still have times where I&#039;m overwhelmed and have a ton of stuff to do, but I make push through. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Work is also going well. I&#039;m happy in my position and with my co-workers, and I&#039;m trying to have more fun. I&#039;m trying to reach out to discover the students and the classroom need and bring that to them. So far, it&#039;s working well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At home, the boys are settling in. They&#039;re getting comfortable with their schedules, their counselor, and school life. It&#039;s not the route I would have taken, but I can&#039;t say I regret the move for them into school. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m very active in my family, and am participating in a lot of events that are fun for me. I&#039;m really happy about being able to express myself and not have to ask anyone&#039;s permission to do so, which just feels great. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m living on my own terms. (Well, most of the time.) I&#039;m happy to be accountable to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
