Being Me…

Exploring what that means…

They love me…they really love me!

My friends are sweethearts! I cried out for help recently and they ran to me! They gave up their weekend and came down – yes they had fun with me, but they let me vent, they gave up previous plans, and they took the time to drive for 4 hours to get to me. They took me out, let me vent, suggested ways to help myself (and outside sources as well), and generally lifted me up!

I love my friends!

Little by little, one travels far…

Little by little, one travels far.

J. R. R. Tolkien

I am going to write that where I can see it every day.  I seem to have a tendency to try to get where I’m going faster, in life, in the car – apparently everywhere.  I’m impatient to get back to good times, to get back to “normal” whatever that is – or was.

Well, you know what?  Things are never going to be the way they were – that isn’t how life works.  I need to remember that no matter how small the steps I’m taking seem, I WILL get somewhere.  I WILL make progress…if I keep going.  I need to keep my focus and not get distracted or discouraged.

Take the One Million Gratitude Post Challenge

A visitor (Dr. Paul) to this blog pointed out a wonderful site that is doing a challenge to get 1 million gratitude posts on the site by 2009. The site is here (pops). I think this is a wonderful idea and I’ve stopped by myself for a brief post today and I highly recommend others do the same. More gratitude and appreciation can hardly hurt our world, can it?

(Thanks, Dr. Paul!)
