Talking to a good friend today on Facebook and we got on to the topic of grace. I know many people right now with challenges that boggle the mind. Me and Joy agreed that we have soo much to be grateful for! Yet we all do things that defy logic. We all have our vices!
I crave smoking still soo bad. It's horrible to Iove doing something that we know is just no good for us. Ah, but the act itself is soothing. Pure torture!
Some days I feel like tossing my hands in the air, grabbing a Big Mac, driving out to a beach somewhere where I'm sure to burn as I tan my skin a beautiful gold, just to sip a martini and say "Fuck it all!!!!"
Some days....I feel like that....and I'm okay with that so long as it isn't most days.
Most days I just want to give everyone hugs :)

So, so true! Be strong, Cathleen - stronger than I can be! I have taken another "break"... sometimes I'm not sure I will ever reach my goal weight/size again. Sometimes I feel like I am destined to remain in my size 16's forever. And sometimes (and this is what scares me) I really don't care anymore.

I entered a short story contest through CBC and the NFB of Canada... hope you don't mind me leaving the link here? (The only reason I am is that is sort of fits with the theme of your post.)

So true. Every day is filled with the choices we make. Not all days we want to make the right ones or even have strength to. But it's all about balance !

Well written my friend just as you. You may link to your works on my site at anytime :) xox
Though the shadows may grip us, they are only illusions playing on our emotions with no true sustenance for our future. They cannot support truth which we are all made of. Doubt is temporary but we are forever. Have faith that those you do not control will find their way and that your way is yours alone.
