Learning

{Post: 324/365}

I am learning

to work within

the confines

of the life

that I am in

I am learning

to make peace

with the 

journey

I am learning 

to find

the strength

to face

every new day

I am learning

to believe

in myself

and I am learning

not to sweat 

the small stuff

I Will Fight

{Post: 293/365}

what will 

tomorrow bring

but more

stress, worry

and fear

I don't believe

I am strong enough

not to fear

not to doubt

not to wail and moan

and cry in misery

and sorrow

for my plight

and yet I know

that I will take a breath

and another

and I will

survive

each moment

as I am faced with them

I know

that I will fight

in the ways that I know

in the ways that I have

and I may yet learn

new ways as well

i will learn

not to worry the tomorrows

but to cherish

TODAY

and to follow the path

wherever it may lead

trusting the journey

trusting that I will be cared for

in ways I can't even imagine yet

not only will I LEARN

but I will leave bridges behind me

Life Lessons

{Post: 55/365}

I'm learning to believe in myself

And I'm learning to share my opinion

And I'm learning to write what I think

Not hide it, when I blog

And I'm learning not to take life too seriously

And I'm learning not to beat myself up

And I'm learning (though it sometimes really hurts me)

Not to drink alcohol

And I'm learning to be open and unafraid

When I deal with other people

And I'm learning that it's much 

Much easier to be real and true 

Life Lessons!

I'm learning to take care of myself
And I'm learning to journal
And I'm learning to like myself better
Not beat myself up, when I make mistakes
And I'm learning not to think negative thoughts
And I'm learning not to worry so much
And I'm learning (though it sometimes really hurts me)
Not to eat junk food to comfort me
And I'm learning to rise above the judgements
When I do things other people don't understand
And I'm learning that it's much 
Much easier to be MYSELF!!
