Day 17 Hate On Me ~ Day of rest Post #2

I would like to take this time to reflect on the last 17 days of my journey.
I started this blog to hold myself accountable and get some much needed support from my friends. I would have never dreamed that so many of my friends and family are following me a fact that I found out this week.  By people sending messages via facebook and email. Since I put up a hit counter on Thursday I have had 90 hits. I am so surprised, happy and touched. You could knocked me over with a feather and that would be some feather. I could never express what it means to me or how much it will help me stay on track. Dave Clemmons sends out his Christian Things they are almost always insightful.  But this last weeks prepared and armed me for what was coming my way.

He was talking about taking an WWJD moment.
(What Would Jesus Do?)

Here is some of what he wrote~ 

 "Twix candy bars has had a TV commercial campaign for some time now of people getting themselves into "sticky" situations. The camera freezes and a voice over announcer says..."Need a moment?” in other words do you need a minute before you decide how to react to the situation. Wouldn't it be great if we could put life and the world "on pause" in those moments and take time to consider how we should react. Sometimes that reaction may only be to ourselves...in our own thoughts or in a quite word to someone else. Sometimes it may be to send an angry email or text or say words of anger and hurt without thinking. We all face these situations everyday but how we react to them is key. Would we change our reaction if we were able to take a moment?"

I was overwhelmed emotionally but I took that WWJD/Twix moment. 

I put myself on pause, had a really good cry, tossed and turned all night, took several deep breaths and took myself off pause and got on with my journey. 

(when things happen that hurt me, make me up set and feel bad about myself I all want to do is feel better Hell anyone would. I had a glass of water and climbed into bed. 

If I was in a different place I would have gone into the kitchen and got something that tasted really good and even make myself a drink or two and it would have made me feel better but only for a little while) 


But,.......... I realized while wiping my tears away that this is 

My Journey!

It has nothing to do with anyone else's exceptions. 

I am doing this for me. 

not for any person, not for a job 

For Me!

With all that said I would like to thank you for your continued support and love.
