I’m sorry you’re feeling low, our Bettie. Sometimes life just keeps dealing those one-two punches. One thing I know though, is that you will get up tomorrow and make it better.
I was chatting to my bestie this evening and we were going round and round about how crappy life can be. We’re very honest with each other though and we always end up admitting that only we can change things.
It’s hard Bettie to make the drastic changes we need for our health. I’m afraid to go for my next physical for what the doctor may find. I’m way overweight and really need to take control of things. I don’t know what damage I’ve done to my insides.
You absolutely do not have a giant L on your forehead. You have done amazing things under great pressure. However, you do need to make yourself a priority now. In the end, Bettie, our health is our wealth. Visiting my 92-year old Dad every weekend shows me that I should practice gratitude for what I still have. When I see some of the old girls in the home, it’s very sobering. It’s not nice.
So, let’s make small steps every day to love ourselves a little more. God knows, if we don’t love ourselves, why would anyone else want to.
Take care of yourself Bettie and forget the stupid gambling thoughts. Kick them to the proverbial curb and watch the garbage truck drive away with it. I hope you do something wonderful for yourself tomorrow. You deserve good things.
Love, RG
