Sometimes you gotta give up what you love....
Goodbye my love! This is me kissing you goodbye. Can you see the tears in my eyes? This is a very sad day, but please stop
tempting me with your sweetness! It is hard to walk away from you, but you are
so bad for me in so many ways this is something I must do. Bad for my heart, and myself esteem, not to
mention the guilt I feel for allowing you to change me into someone I don’t
want to be. Just because you were enticing
enough to lure me into a life-long obsession of you does not mean I can’t give
you up. I may have been weak to you before, but not anymore! Yes I realize I
let my love for you cloud my better judgment. Many times I lost all self-
control and gave in to my desire for you. Each time knowing you weren’t good
for me, yet I gave into you. But now I have found a new love, one that makes me
feel good about myself, makes me feel like I can achieve anything! So stop being so seductive it isn’t going to
work, I am changing! That’s right, sometimes you have to give up what you love
in order to find a better you. So this is it, we are over. We are through! To
my new love, thank you for accepting me for who I am and helping me to change!
Most of all thanks for giving the courage to do what I should have done long
ago. So goodbye chocolate I am going to miss you! My new love for exercise is
going to get me through. Now it is in writing and there is no turning back, I
only have to remember you’re responsible for my fat. Written by Tammy

POOR PEOPLE ?
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was the trip?'
'It was great, Dad.'
'Did you see how poor people live?' the father asked.
'Oh yeah,' said the son.
'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father.
The son answered:
'I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.'
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.'
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
'Life is too short and friends are too few.'
My daughter's and I started a round of Beach body's, RockIn Body and we are loving it! Something fun that helps you improve, doesn't get easier than that!
