I think that this is an ongoing process. I think that for the most part we are unaware of a lot of the things that we do that put us in a negative light. I am fortunate in that my wife has always been honest with me in pointing out my real failings. If I agree with her I make an effort to change.

Yes I feel that way to. I always want to change the rooms in the house, but are unable to due too the fact I am not allowed to lift anything anymore. I'm trying not to have surgery on my neck, but I keep getting more bulging herinated disc's. What else is going to happen to me.
DG - to a small extent (not as much as yours) I can relate in that I think of all the things I would LIKE to do, but my breathing issues make it difficult.
My change needs to be in changing HOW I do things. And yet, not giving in to the discouragement that tries to filter in. Does that make sense? (I'm kind of tired as it is going for 1AM)
I relate to what you both said. I want to do things but can't anymore. Just keeping up with my husband in the grocery store is a trial now.

DG,
I had back surgery for a herniated disc & a degenerated disc and the result is that I can't lift anything heavier then 10 lbs without getting back strain, but at least I am pain free.

OOhh Guy, my sister had to have that done. Have to take it really easy for awhile. Let that back heal. I hope you heal quickly. Glad to hear your not in pain, that's a plus. I wish you all the best. Hug's, Blu
There WERE times in the past I wish I had known better how to chose or make better decisions on a particular subject. Than I begin to realize that each step we take teaches us, helps us become who we are today.
There are also times when I say God I've had enough lessons.....must not test him.....he will give you more ......as HE knows best. lol
It is said, we won't be given any more than we can handle......that is when I ask that question above........thought a few times I've can't handle this problem anymore...I did and have grown and see the light about other people's ways, how to look at things with different eyes, how to really listen.
Guess I am growing up......lol Love laughing more and feeling less stressed, how about all of you?
Good post Laurie
I agree SMILE. Each step is a journey in the direction we need to travel in our own lives. I also feel somtimes like "I've grown enough already". I'm ready for a rest. I don't want anymore "tests" Very positive reply. Thanks for sharing that
