Ruhu's Journal, 22 May 14

Yes, one day at a time it is… and once again, journaling is so therapeutic for me! Expressing what I'm feeling, no matter what it is, how crazy it seems, or how counter-productive as I build my healthy eating & living roadway, is exactly what the doctor always orders. So, note to self -- no matter I'm feeling, this is the place to let it out! Each time as the words leave my head, hit the keyboard & end up here on my journal, it's such a freeing, wonderful experience. And, knowing all of you are there for me -- crazy, irrational, sad, counterproductive or whatever I'm feeling -- is the icing on the cake… figuratively only, of course!

Its a rainy, gloomy morning here in the northeast, but I'm off to workout, have a facial this afternoon :), and bookkeeping work to fill in the gaps. First, though, I'll pray --

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

And, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal & express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of incredible you, my family & IRL friends, feeling good even in the gloomy weather, hot bulletproof coffee, a facial to look forward to and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

I too find FS a great place to leave the crap behind - kind of like an emotional toilet - lol. Have an awesome long week-end.

I feel the same way..lots of my journal's aren't particularily weight related but help me focus my plan for activity for the day. If I haven't gone to the gym for a bit I can look back and see what was in my way and if I did something else like heavy work in my yard.

I have not been journaling much, but your notes are encouraging. Feels like community, so I thin I will start.

Ditto ~ I don't know why I hide and burrow myself deeper into depression when I don't journal... I guess when I'm on a sunny streak I don't want to admit things are cloudy. Denial ... ostrich w/my head in the sand. I'm going to take a page from you and remember 'write it down, get it out of my head, and move on.'

I love to journel also. It helps me to handle things better. I have written a lot of poems, that consist of my emotions.I also journel just to write about things good or not so good. It helps me to cope with situations. Take care be back tomorrow. LoreJae xoxoxo

I spilled my guts last week about my depression. I was feeling kind of awkward doing it, but I knew I could share it with all my wonderful friends here. Amazed at the support and love I received and also discovered that it was time to quit the pity party as millions of us suffer. I am grateful to FS for providing this outlet for our diets and lives.
