i like the idea that different people have different amounts of love to give. I think women should do them! Decide what life you want or decide you don't yet know what the hell you want. That's ok. I'm telling myself that's ok. Calm the fuck down and just be. Thanks for sharing.

Dope! And inspiring. You made me feel a different perspective of life--one that's more relaxed and less "gotta do this, accomplish that, meet this goal.." You know--actually living. Thank you for sharing :)

I love to read, so I love plenty of books... One that sticks out from childhood was "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day". Lol. Whenever I feel like nothing is going right, everything is wrong, I think of this book lol

Good Morning, Diana
I am SOOOOO Proud of you, you have taken that fear demon by the "thot" and flug him where he belongs - out of your mind. Of course you are going to be successful you are a beautiful child of the Most High God, and He Don't Make No Junk! You know when you get confirmation from God right after you experienced that momentary doubt that you are moving in the right direction. I am praying for you and will be supporting you from this month forward. Keep on Believing in YOU!!!!!

Im glad you did what you believed in...and did not fall into the hyperbole trap...as you explained, "you were not going to die". Sometimes, we trap ourselves in the bleakest characterizations, when, like in your case, after further thought....you move on:-}

Re: Tuesday’s Thoughts: Fleeting Feelings

Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry to hear about you and your friend. Prayers for you. We will get through. :-)))

Re: Tuesday’s Thoughts: Fleeting Feelings

Soulflower — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:40:34 -0000

Diana,
This too will pass. I just recently got my feelings hurt by someone I have known for 45 years, thought we were tighter than that and that my feelings mattered more because of that. So i really felt foolish acknowledging that I was being played.
But my health is pretty good, and work is good and I am making daily improvements in my living situation. The hurt is still there, I dwell on it sometimes (I went through an entire month in a fog). But each day, with prayer and God's Grace I make it through another day and I try to find joy and beauty in simple things (sunrises and sunsets, roses in bloom, etc.) We are good, kind, decent human beings and deserve to be treated as such.
Keep on Doing You, Girlfriend!!!

Re: Wednesday Wisdom: Give it Up, Turn it Loose

Diana — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:54:00 -0000

Thank you for the kind words! And then yesterday at our Ash Wednesday Service, the message was: give it up so you can be lifted up. God be knowin' and workin'! Have a blessed Lenten season.

Soulflower — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:33:21 -0000

As always, Diana I'm feeling you on this post. Sitting in church last night wondering what I am going to "give up". I just printed this post and will keep it on my wall for forty days to remind myself that these intangible things are really much more important to me. What are we obedient to? Yeah, that's a good one. :)

LOL! You know I started singing it as I typed that last line. Then I went to listen to it on Spotify. Then I debated posting the song at the end. LOL! Maybe I should add it. It rocks!

Although it is not something I love, I have needed to clean my bedroom since before Christmas. Just could not move forward until I read your post yesterday. So even after a grueling 75 minute commute, I proceeded to clean the left side of my room last night. Whenever I thought about quitting (every 15 minutes) I thought about you and this post and kept at it. 2 1/2 hours later one side of the room is clean (down to the floors scrubbed with a cloth!) I am not done, but oh the sense of accomplishment when I look at that side and it is clear of clutter right down to the floors. So thank you for that.
