For today love myself
Permalink  

Today, I will no longer beat myself up.  If I have a bad moment, it will not take over my day.  If I cry, oh well!!  These moments happen, and is in no way a reflection on me being a bad or weak person. If I stand up for myself and what I believe in, then I will stand tall and proud.   If I look at the big picture, and if I can say I'm happy with things or myself overall, how I handled something, how I tried to help someone, and it doesn't turn out exactly how I want, then that is ok - I know I did my best at the time.    It has been a journey for me, unlearning what I have learned with the A.   

Forgiveness and being gentle is also for us, I believe.

Wonderful post - reminds me of one of my favorite affirmations:

I did the best I could, with what I knew at the time....

 

Take care

Tom

Today I decided to love on myself so I took a nap.  I feel like a million bucks.  Now, if I could only scare something up for dinner :)

Thanks for the reminder.

Best,

Tommye
