Day 10 - Its Thursday & I am thankful...
Today I am thankful for courage. My new found courage!! I had the courage to try something new, break out of my comfortable box & expand myself to better myself...key words being "myself"...for that I am thankful. It has given me a new lease on life, a better outlook & a happier horizon (so to speak)...
I clicked on my profile & saw that we're over the 50% mark & I said, "holy poop!!"...OK, I didn't say poop, but like Ron Burngundy - I'll keep it classy...lol The time has flown & I can honestly say it hasn't be painful at all. It has be inspiring to know that I CAN do this & I AM worth every effort.
I am also thankful to all the wonderful souls I have met along this 10 day journey. For me, it's all about human connection & interaction and through comments, likes, etc. I feel connected to each of you facing the same struggles as me. Thanks for voicing your raw emotions & feelings, allowing me to take comfort in knowing that there are others that share the same struggles as me & that I'm not some freak in the crowd or mental patient (no disrespect to the ill)...
Today for the first time, I stepped out of my clothing box & wore something that 10 days ago I would NEVER even think about putting on (it was always overly draped cloths at all costs - today, I wear something a little form fitting...eeekkk) & ya know what, I have never received so many compliments - its a little overwhelming as I don't really think I'm worthy (this is another weakness, I must conquer - babysteps!) but nice to hear nice compliments nonetheless....
LAUGH, LOVE & SMILE...the rest will take care of itself...BE KIND to yourself & others!
