Let’s Get Real for a Minute…

So it’s been a little while since my last post. Sorry about that.

When I left off I was at Day 4 of a 14 Day “Love Yourself” Challenge. So if I’m being real with you here, I only made it through one more day of that challenge before I put it on hold. And I can make excuses about why like “I just got behind on posting” or “I got so caught up in things at work” or “I put it off planning to pick it up later and just plain got distracted.” But if I’m being completely honest… the biggest reason I dropped the challenge was because of how hard it was to try to force it. There are so many reasons why I’m not happy with myself right now that forcing myself to self-analyze so much just became too much.

Hopefully one day I can pick it back up without so much difficulty. One day it won’t be so hard to think of why I should love myself or what I actually do love about myself.

But I will say that this week has been a real wake-up call for me.  One that I hope actually sticks this time.  One day this week a friend of mine had to go out of town to visit his father because he had health issues that put him in the hospital.  And the next day my fiance’s father ended up in the hospital due to heath issues.  All that caused me to think about how my grandmother is currently battling cancer, my Dad passed away at 55 due to health issues, and my grandfather passed away at 61 due to health issues.  I’m so afraid of what my future looks like if I don’t get serious about making some changes in my life.

So here’s to new beginnings….
