Learn it! Live it! Love it!

It's a journey. Along the journey, there are three steps we all must take:

1. Learn it!
2. Live it!
3. Love it!

What the "it" is for any one of us varies throughout the journey. And, in the end, if you don't love it, chuck it! Throw away, discard, move on from the things in this life that you don't need. Let go of those things that don't belong and that suck you in and pull you down. It could be people or a job or circumstances.

Learn what it is that you want. Learn what makes you happy. Learn what makes you sad. Learn what holds you back. Learn what you are afraid of. Learn about yourself. Learn to love yourself. Learn to love others. Learn what's important. Learn what's not. Never stop learning.

Once you have learned these things about yourself and others, you have to live it every day. Live in the belief of who you are and do the things you love. Avoid the things you hate and find ways around and through those things you cannot change. Living is not easy or fair, but it is still good. Why? Because it's everything YOU made it to be in living it; choosing that path for your life. If you don't like it, learn something new to change that and LIVE THAT!

Love it, my friends. Whatever it is. Choose it and love it for all that it is or isn't. If you have to live it, you have to find ways to love it. If you can't, then it doesn't belong and something new needs to replace it. So, learn that something new, live that new truth and find that love for whatever your "IT" is.

Never give up on this life or loving it regardless of the circumstances you may find yourself in. There is always a way up and through and over and out. BELIEVE!

Struggles

Struggles. We all have them. My (latest) favorite saying is, "We all have our things." And for me, my "thing" is wanting to eat to fill the emptiness inside. And not like carrots and apples and good for you stuff. Oh, No! The really bad for you stuff. I crave sugary treats. I have been doing so well with my eating lately and have been exercising for the last few weeks as well, but last night nearly took me down. I was struggling with wanting to run--not walk--into the kitchen and make myself a bowl of cereal with some Craisins or a fruit smoothie or a PB&J. I prayed instead. Almost to the point of tears, I begged God for this to pass. I ate some carrots. I drank some more water. I contemplated some tea. I got out my swiss ball and did some wall squats as I watched TV. I had already been out for a walk earlier with ML, too, but I felt like I was coming out of my skin. OBSESSING about eating something. It wasn't food that I wanted, though. I wanted to feed t...

Sometimes, Reality is Worse

What if I told you that Joseph/SAM was created to hurt me? Made up to be everything I'd ever want and more? What if I told you everything I believed and knew him to be was an enormous hoax? All because someone wanted to give me what she felt I had given her. All that she felt I had taken from her. I have to admit that while people have hurt me before with their actions and decisions it has been for their own personal and selfish reasons. Usually not with malicious intent.  There has to be a lot of pain and hurt within a person to invest so much into the creation of a fictional character. Someone who would really take the time to know me. Someone who would enlist others to make the ruse real. To call me on the phone, to send me cards from the web, to pick out a card and leave it at a bar where the bartender who gave it to me told me how cute my guy was, to create a Facebook account with pictures and friends, to bring an ex-wife into the mix, pictures from the desert and your trave...

Treat Him to Love

I read this article  posted by a friend. She asked what are the 20 things a woman should do for her man. My responses below were learned the hard way through my own 15 year marriage and the 9 years since I chose to divorce. They are not things I say lightly or for part-time living. They are for every day. Every. Day! Even when your man doesn't deserve it, hasn't earned it, give it to him. That is what unconditional love is. The most quoted verses at weddings is from 1 Corinthians 13. It speaks of God's love for us and is meant to teach us how to love like He does. That's what the marriage relationship is to emulate, God as Groom/Husband and us/the church as his Bride. 1. She speaks of him with deference in front of others including her girlfriends.  2.  She treats him with respect and lifts him up with her words, affirming his character.  3. She knows no one is perfect and gives him grace for those moments when he falls short for we all do.  4. She k...
