I happened to consider you a warrior all along. You face a number of health issues, and though you get emotional about them at times, you deal. You not only deal, you maintain a beautiful humor and a huge heart. Strength and courage come in a lot of different forms, and I think managing to keep your heart open to love, friendship and laughs, in spite of any and all adversity, is a real sign of strength. I see the same qualities in Jewelz, and I said so on her latest blog. For slightly different reasons, I see those qualities in you, as well.
I'm glad to see you finally seeing the warrior in yourself some of us have been talking to and loving for awhile now. Hugs.
I'm about halfway here tonight. I'm glad you aren't leaving, and somehow I missed that, though I did read through your blog. Blame it on too much paper grading lately. Every thing I read runs together into a big blob, even when it's something I WANT to read! Happy Turkey day.
Not too sure about the turkey festivities - looks like I will head over to my training partner's place for a while, then maybe see my mother for a bit (bunch of relatives over there - not really "my side of the family") then dunno - maybe work, maybe shoot something. Will just have to see how the day progresses.
Epiphany- big and small keep life interesting if somewhat
unsettled. Feel "Tommyesque" now that you've broken the
mirror?
Have the best T-day that you can.
OK so its not just me then...they have been kinda sore and stingy ever since I got them, and as you can see I have large nips too....I hope it goes away, I really like them a lot, I dont want to have to go back to barbells at all if I can help it. I have been soaking them in a sea salt solution everyday, and thats helping.
I'm going to be selfish and say it would be sad not to have you here anymore, so I'm really glad you're staying.
And now for the non-selfish part : It is awesome that you're finding so much inner strength!!! And don't feel like you're promoting some book... you're promoting how good you're feeling and that this was something that helped you. Celebrate!
lol.... don't worry .... there's no point to miss!! Mind you i did watch the first film last week... i was just thinking i should post something else but couldn't think of anything to say ... so i thought i'd post a clip i like instead :o)
actually i'm watching "ultravioet" at the moment which i've never seen before.... it's quite good :o)
Wow, that is some amazing catharsis --it sounds like you managed to purge decades of yucky old bad memories and replace them with the truth as it is NOW. That's really deep...and hard work. I'm really, really proud of you and happy that you are staying (I didn't realize you were thinking of leaving! )
I LOVED The Four Agreements when I read it too; often when I find myself "tripping" on something in my life, it's because I've forgotten one of the agreements. You don't sound like an infomercial, you sound like an incredible, beautiful, intelligent, strong, woman who has decided to take a stand in her life. And that's always a triumph! (((hugs)))
I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving, love! Or at least a peaceful one!!! Ours turned out to be really nice. Just got back home a little while ago. And now I am soooo sleepy. gonna crawl in bed and catch some zzzzzz's.
Thank you, btw, for the sweet testimonial. It made my night!
