YOU CAN CHANGE – OK

I just read WOODSPRITE"S entry. I agree with her. People can and should change. It might not be easy but it can be done. I have changed in the last many years. Like Woodsprite I was always depending on others to do everything. I waited for hubby to decide what we would do, what direction we were going in but when I finally woke up I realized that I could and should take hold of the reins. I no longer depend on hubby or others to plan my life. I am much more independent – maybe too much but I don’t care. I use to depend on other’s for my opinion. I now speak out about what I believe in. A friend just emailed me that I always do and say just the right thing. I was really surprised.
I am a more mature woman and I know I have a lot of wisdom. I am no longer afraid to speak up and out about things I believe in. Maybe too much at times. LOL!
I use to sleep in very late but now I am up early to get my day started.
I know my opinion is as valuable as any others. I no longer wait to hear what others think. I do listen to others but make up my own mind.
I know that I have to plan my life. I cannot wait for hubby or my friends to do it.
I realize it is ok to make mistakes. Usually they can be corrected or don’t matter at all. I know people who worry about going someplace because they are worried about where they will park. SAY WHAT? I always drive to the front door and then search for a parking place. I realize that if I drive in the wrong direction I can turn around and go back in the right direction. SO WHAT????
I realize that I should go with my gut and do what I think is right. It doesn’t matter if my hubby or others agree. That is why I went to Toronto for the family Bar Mitzvah.
I am confident enough to sit by myself at a gathering of any kind and not feel alone or strange or out of place.
I am confident enough to NOT eat what others serve me when I don’t like the food.
I am confident enough to know there is not one right way to paint and or do any other craft. I can do things my way and it is ok.
I am confident that I am FAST and GOOD!!!!!
So this morning I am going to have breakfast and go swimming. I was planning to walk but it’s raining. I prefer swimming anyways. I don’t usually go in the morning. Hope it’s not too busy.
Take care friends. Have a wonderful, peaceful day.
