The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
Alan Watts
I thought I’d create this composite piece to express how I’m feeling this evening: Empowered.
Nothing earthshaking has happened. The scale hasn’t tipped and my willpower crumbled again at the sight of the cookies. The good news is that—with a little help from the family—that little brown box is empty now. Yay! Overall I’m eating much better than I was a week ago, so I’m making positive changes. That’s not why I feel empowered, though.
The fact that I see this as an endless undertaking is what is giving me strength. There is no finish line; no gold medal to be won if I move at warp speed. I have months (even years) to work on this lifestyle change… and that is what empowers me. I have time.
I’ve taken the plunge, and although the changes are slow and small, I am in there… moving and dancing with them.
Peace & love everyone. Thank you for allowing me to share my journey with you!
a sprinkle of faith
