Last night I took a moment to read through my journal. I don't do that often, mainly because it makes me sad. But last night I went back to a year ago and what I was dealing with. WOW, I can only say that there was so much pain and hurt in my life that I hadn't delt with and I was encouraged to look back over this past year and see how I was FINALLY able to deal with it and move on. I was pretty shocked when I came across and entry from May 2009...I went into detail about my weight and how unhappy I was and that I wish I'd just change it. I wanted a quick fix, something fast to get me to a size 8. Funny how even then I had no desire to change my life but I just wanted to complain about it. It took losing a dear friend and seeing that my life was headed in the same direction for me to finally make that change. I'm so thankful that I finally did! I'm not sure how many people keep a journal but I highly encourage it! I think it's a great way to get your thoughts out and keep your mind moving forward. It's good to reflect back and realize how far you've actually come. I'm thankful that I have my journal even though sometimes it's harder to read but glad to remember and move on.
It also hit me last night that it will be 3 years on my birthday that my grandma passed. How quickly time goes and how much I miss her. I miss my grandparents. But I have to share that when my birthday comes around I like to think that my Papa Johnson, Grandpa and Grandma Dutka are standing in Heaven singing Happy Birthday to me. They of course have the best celebration! I'm ready for another year, to keep moving forward and being thankful for all the blessings we have in our lives.
Give thanks in ALL we do!
