Summing up

I'm still working on my new blog. I realized today that I had fallen into old patterns. Time to stop that. The last few weeks have been rough...emotionally. I've let myself absorb some negative energy and it's taking it's toll. While sitting outside (doing something I shouldn't) I realized it was time to count my blessings...

Over this last year I have made some major strides. I've been encouraged and drawn to some fascinating people. I've been inspired and reaffirmed my faith in the Universe and in myself.

The yard has been handled. Bushes cut and shaped. I learned to use the weed whacker properly. I've fixed the lawnmower. Cleaned out the garage, several times. I've hung some bins for recycling that I've been talking about for years.

Quite simply, I've proven that life on my own at 40 (41 now) will not be my downfall...It will be my best growth.

I realized that when I feel myself struggling...or allowing thoughts of defeat, that it is a time to move, act...grow. I'm holding myself back. Me...this is not something I can blame anyone else on. I've been given an opportunity I never thought I would have...The chance to live on my terms.

Right now, I'm going out on a limb and give a launch date for my new Blog. October 1st. I have a list of topics that are eager to get out of my head and out for all to see. This is my opportunity to give back. Thank you to the Universe for giving me the chance...

Ok...I'm on a roll...Time to get bold, brave...and toss those limiting patterns to the wayside.
