Patience is a Virtue

Sorry to have kept everyone waiting this long without a post, but I really haven't had that much to say. I have kept very busy at work, and have been stressed with the usual daily chores of life: bills, relationships, etc. But, I have to say that I am pretty proud of myself for trying to stay in a positive frame of mind. I remember on my Weight Watchers journey, how I got stuck, so I quit. Life sort of "happened" as they say, and the next thing you know, it was a year later, and I had gained 51 lbs back!!

But, this time it feels as though life is "happening" again, and I have struggled to maintain that extreme motivation, but I have not quit! I will never quit!! I put myself a note on the fridge about being patient, and how timing is everything in life. You can't always try to force a square peg into a round hole and expect everything to be fine. Life isn't easy. It is full of ups and downs, and plenty of things can get in the way of your goals. But, you have to keep pushing. Keep climbing even when it hurts, you are tired, and it seems easier to eat ice cream to deal with the stress.

I am putting it all in the hands of my teacher. HE gives me strength and wisdom and courage not to quit. HE taught me patience as a child, and he keeps me strong. Without him, I would quit.

Not this time Michelle, not this time...
