Me again. I am putting out gratitude for my being able to see what is good in front of me. I am thankful for seeing friendship when it is there, real nutrition for the body and soul. Life is about sustenance. And when you begin to clear the cobwebs, you do become brighter and begin to glow b/c you are moving in the direction of happiness. Happiness is what happens. And I am able to look at the old reels of me, in my movie, and see with compassion now and not just judgement.
I did these things because I didn't know. And I will forget and remember again. And forget and remember. This feels like life. But what feels so thrillingly gratifying, is that I am able to uncover the "me' that is there. This is not a perfect me, or a me without bumps on her skin. But it is a me, that continues to watch herself grow in ways she never considered possible. It is a me who speaks without fear, and without cowering. Or she cowers, and then sees that this is not the way.
I always loved movies like Rocky, and anything that had the protagonist working with the odds. I wanted to be that person, and this is part of why I liked exercise so much. I felt like I was working against adversity--BUT THE ADVERSITY was struggling against my own body! Now I see movement as an expression of self, of Spirit, of God. I feel so grateful to have found my way and to re-find and re-find again and again.
