Making commitments to ourselves...

When we make improvements to our lives whether it is losing weight or going out more, we feel more of ourselves and we can be even more present with others.

Because I picked up a few pounds more than my frame is use to, I found myself not feeling like interacting with my grandchildren or others as much. I love rolling around on the floor with them, dancing with them and just being who I am. After the weight crept onto my body, I stop doing a lot of things with them. I began to do some things about it but I was not consistent.

I missed truly being in the moment with them, so I decided to make a commitment to myself to change my lifestyle. I am making gradual changes and the result is gradual. I am pleased. I feel better. I am breathing better. My grandchildren can see the difference in me even if they do not say anything. They enjoy being with me and enjoying some of the activities that I stop doing. All I need is the awareness of the love that lives within me.

Meditation: contemplate on, the love of God lies within me. I am loving and I am love and I am loved. Love expresses through me as me. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths. Go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
