Today we are going to be all alone with our thoughts.
We are going to get into this boat and relax and think.
Get away from the mundane, the trials and frustrations, the hectic routines.
There is a pillow in the boat, some water and a pad and pen.
As you float down the lake what are your thoughts?
We have been practicing deep breathing now take another breath and write.
Dear Friends,
Today I am taking a boat ride with ME for ME and all about ME.
I do count. I do matter. I do have feelings.
I wear many hats during the day. And for the next few minutes I am taking all of them off and relaxing.
I hear the bird song in the distance.
I hear the rustling of the Fall trees.
I hear tiny footsteps in the grasses that are drying from the season's changes.
I am thinking about where I was a few months ago.
I look at ME with different eyes.
I realize that my weight was not do to over eating, but what was eating me.
I have learned to let go and to accept the things that I can't change.
I have learned that there are people oput here with the same problems that I have and together we are helping each other.
I have thrown out the word diet and replaced it with health.
I am experiencing new things. New eating patterns, new likes and a new ME.
She was always there, but I didn't like her enough to let her emerge.
I keep my Dolly with me, not as a crutch, but as a dear friend.
I know that I am changing and that this change will carry me through the joys and sorrows that I will face.
I am coming to a crossroad, I know I have choices to make. Take the comfortable path and continue on as before or take the road less traveled and tackle something new and exciting, if not a little scarry.
The choice is up to me.
I am the captain of this boat. I can steer it in the direction I want, or I can float on by and go in circles.
I have chosen my path, I have set my mind to my goal, and I have and am reaching out to others.
My boat has reached the shore and I am grateful for the ride.
To the next boat rider, I leave you a little bit of me behind. A smile and a prayer.
Marcie
