I love your idea about surrendering and allowing things to just be before we can receive...that's just beautiful. <br /><br />Thank you also for reminding me to allow myself to have momentary break downs, sometimes I feel so weak when I do, but I know it is truly part of the healing process and ultimately, you are right, after a break down moment it's so important to just pick myself up and keep on being.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the kinds words of encouragement and understanding.and i think to myself...what a wonderful worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355461541509143542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590513693726334433.post-86837483525854979372009-07-08T11:23:23.212-07:002009-07-08T11:23:23.212-07:00I'm sorry that you have moments where your los...I'm sorry that you have moments where your loss hurts and self-doubt creeps in. Just know that you most certainly will find love again! It may come at the most unexpected time, but it will come! Sometimes we have to just surrender and allow things to just BE before we can receive. I think you're doing a pretty good job of just "being:" hanging with friends, loving your family, working, taking care of yourself, and enjoying many yummy "spreads!" You just keep doing what you're doing and allow yourself those moments and then just pick yourself up and keep on being!<br /><br />I love that part that Elizabeth wrote about the suffocating mantras. So true! I think 80% of my dialogue is the one I have with myself in my head. Thankfully, through the years the voice has been much kinder and gentler. Although, I still certainly have my moments when the voice can get a little nasty! I love how she took the time out of her days to just be still and quiet and to calm that voice from within. It reminds me that that wouldn't be a bad daily habit to get into!comfy cozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491419475202941366noreply@blogger.com
