Frannie is smiling....a lot
A year ago yesterday, I attended my first meeting for an organization which has become a priority in my life.
On 8/29/08, I’d hit the bottom of an emotional pit and I could not climb out. But beginning 8/30, a day at a time, I began to change. Call it a light at the end of the tunnel, an epiphany, an awakening -I am now more in tune with myself emotionally, physically and spiritually.
I am not perfect and I accept that. What ever made me think I had to be? I’m still working thru that one.
I am not fixed because I was never broken. I’m me and I accept myself and my defects. I haven’t acknowledged ALL of my defects yet but I will eventually.
I accept others and their defects. What made me think I could change others? I can only change myself.
I get a lot of positive feedback from people in the organization about how well I’m doing. It’s wonderful to hear but it’s very easy to let it go to my head. I need to remind myself that a little humility goes a lot further than arrogance.
There are 3 things I can do better than anyone else: I can take care of myself better, treat myself better and love myself better than anyone. And I’m finally doing just that.
For this I am most proud. And g-d willing, I always will be.
