I believe we all have to answer for how we live each day, we have to answer to our God, if we don't look after our self's, its a difficult challenge, though for my self when I have woken up each morning in the last week,in constant pain! It only makes me more determined to keep moving, but yesterday I have to confess, I had had one Bad day, to the point I didn't even get out of my PJ's~now did I feel guilty No~ because I believe, I need to just have a day where I didn't answer the phone, (which I didn't) and just be silent in my self, pray and what what I ate and do my tracking, to my surprise, I have have lost 1kg this week, which proves to me, yes Joanne you can do this, in all the pain your bearing, you can walk and you can be silence, and just be your self, and in all of this Jesus walks with me.
In the middle of the week I did have some friend try and dictate to me, but I would not buy what she was selling, meaning I don't have to be told what to do in my spiritual life, its between my self and God, and no one has a right to tell you when or when not to go to confession, or go to Mass, sometime people like to think they can take over my life, which I have to confess I let them in the past but now I am wiser and stronger and I wont stand for it, I am me , each day is a challenge, and I can only take one day at a time, some days I can only take one hour at a time..
So what ever I am doing I must be doing right, to lose a 1kg this week, I have proven to m y self I am much stronger than I give my self credit for.
Let us all continue to be Gentle with our self, and know we are on this magical journey, of life,
