The Dragons Return
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Growing up we were taught that they had all disappeared a long time ago. These creatures were considered to be pure because they did not hoard gold or treasure as most would believe, but they would only associate themselves with people that were pure in heart. They had this ability that allowed them to look at a person and see who that person truly was. You can fool others into believing you're a good person or look like trouble but dragons could never be fooled.

What I Never Told You
We as adults can attribute most of who we have become to our parents. One parent, in particular, makes a big impact on us while we grow up. Sometimes they know just how much influence they have had on you and other times they don't, that is unless you spell it out for them. That person tends to be the one who was either absent from your life (for those in single-parent households) or the one that was there for everything (can be for either single-parent or two-parent households).

Who Am I, Without You?
Most people as this question when they have or are are thinking about leaving their significant other. However, in this case I found myself asking this question with no such intention and it was not directed towards my husband either. Lately its been more directed to my family as a whole, my husband and our two little girls. Before I got married I was independent and doing things for my self. I was involved with groups that I liked and had time to do my favorite hobbies. But after I got married I was no longer just doing things for myself. I had someone else to think about and take care of. Especially once we had children. As our family grew I learned that I was giving up more and more of myself to take care of my family and keep everyone happy. Most moms can relate with this because we are for the most part the homemakers in the family and hardly find time for ourselves and for the family. So it when it comes down to it we typically choose what the family wants or needs over what we want or need. And this is how we can lose ourselves before we even know it.
