My Goals: IN ONE YEAR Learn to EAT, PRAY, LOVE ... My Way*
1) Find Health and Strength for Me and my Family (Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually).
2) Have a Love Affair and Long-Lasting Friendship with my EC (Eternal Companion).
3) Be Available for My Children through their Triumphs and their Trials.
*As I followed Elizabeth Gilbert's journey through "Eat, Pray, Love" and now as you follow me on my journey, perhaps a world of possibilities will open up for you too. Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be? Me? I'd just like to learn to be my loving, happy self and live long and healthy enough to enjoy the outcome. And you? I encourage you to challenge yourself. What would you like to do next? What direction are you going? Our talents and uniqueness bless our world ... and someone is always watching, always following in our footsteps. My prayer is that our footsteps may always be worth following.
Tears are the witnesses of our pain. Today I cried. Real tears. I haven't always been able to do that. Today's cry hurt in that good kind of way like when someone rubs your sore shoulder muscles. Today I was sad. And, that's okay!
Dear Lauri, Tears are OK. They help to purge the soul. I think that our bodies are full of tears and each time we cry we are emptying out those tears.It's a healty thing to do. In my life I have stuffed so many tears that I wouldn't even let myself cry. I have to give myself permission to cry. As time goes on I am getting better at it. Each time I cry I learn something new about myself. It's very therapeutic. I love the picture you have posted with you and Mark. You are such a cute couple. I read your blog from yesterday about meditation and I will have to try it soon (no time today). Thanks for sharing your experience, strength, and hope with me. Keep up the good work! Love,MOM
