My 30 Days Of Growth

 The past 30 days have been eye opening in many ways, many fabulous ways. I learned so much about myself; one, I'm even stronger than I thought I was; two, I was able to live without Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, MSN.  I missed them but I survived. Three, I found that I LOVE to eat healthy and I'm going to stick with it; four, I'm excited about the exercise I'm starting. Five, I miss David even more than I thought possible; the only way I made it through without him was that I had a running email where I wrote in it regularly to tell him what I was going through (I haven't sent it yet). It's a book now, lol.

I'm grateful and thankful that I took this 30 day challenge, I proved to myself that I could do it and be happy about it. I am thrilled with that, I didn't want to be complaining while I did it. I laughed, smiled, stayed positive, cried when it was appropriate. It was an awesome cleanse, one I'd do again in the future. The only thing though is I'm NOT giving up David ever again, that part was torture.

I figured out my purpose, I know what I should be doing, I'm working towards those goals. I believe in myself in a way I never did before; I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's bright. Everyday we are given on this earth is a gift, we need to remember that and share our talents and love with each other.

We need to learn to forgive, really forgive and grow to our best potential; it's the only way we can give the best of ourselves to the world. Holding on to the past will never let us live our future. We need to live in the present so that we can create our future. The blessings of love are there, ready for us to have if we but learn to love ourselves. Once we learn that, we are capable of anything.

I feel so creative because of the cleanse, I'm enjoying finding different food to eat, writing in my blog daily (a passion of mine), getting organized slowly (I'll get there). Finding my spirituality which is aiding in my growth. I cannot explain how easy it is to change your thought patterns in such a very short time, I did it. Yes I have lots of growing to do but I now believe it's all attainable.

Everyone is capable of this, we just need to love ourselves and know that we are worth it, I know I am!!!

  3. Launna, I'll share a secret with you, I'm dating an Egyptian by the webcam, I know it is "difficult" to realize that love, but while there is life there is hope. Unable to God alone. While we live we must take advantage of the lessons it offers us and live with the illusions of life, good or bad. Bjs

    1. Thank you Jaqueline, I learned so much about myself in the past 30 days but mostly I learned that I don't want to be without David. I have never loved another person as much as I love him, never been closer to another human being. Your poetry is so beautiful and talks to me about how I feel about David from the bottom of my soul:)

  5. Very touching post...
    I'm glad you have so much faith in you and keep sticking to your goals.
    Once we have our mind set to a goal it's easy to keep going until we fulfill it. The problem with most people is getting to "setting their mind" phase. I've got the same problem but when I finally start taking a path I never stop until the end, never look back.
    Keep up the good work!

    Hugs

    1. Petro that is so very kind of you to say, I am working hard to keep my faith up. I believe and when I do, I can never give up: even when other people think I should. I have no other way of being.

    1. Thank you Liliana, it was a bit hard being without the social networks but it was so much harder not being able to talk to my David, he is man who I have cared for since he was a boy. ;) You have a really nice blog too:)

I love and appreciate all genuine comments, to save a little time, I won't be commenting on the comments on my blog (unless you don't have a blog), I will just visit your blog and comment there, if you have left a meaningful comment for me... I would much rather spend the time reading and commenting on a few extra blogs ❤
