- this morning i opened the box of banana nut cheerios to pour a bowl for my daughter.. she walked in the kitchen to see me holding the empty box, and the contents spilled alllllllllllll over my kitchen floor...

- that although i wanted to get my new tatt done over my 2 week vacation, i'm not ready to commit to what exactly i want it to say yet, so will procrastinate that for now... i know i want it to symbolize my struggles, my will & my strength, to be the woman i am today..

- when i came to harsh realization this week or two that has just passed that i am DONE being the doormat, so many more things came together for me and it amazes me how everything interconnects when it comes to one's self esteem.. no wonder we get so beaten down - certain things beat you down without even realizing it - vicious circle of negativity!

Oh wow that's awful I used to be Catholic now I'm Jewish and love it...I thought the nuns were ridiculous when I want to cathocism in my younger years and really didn't like it much..I'm glad you came to your realization and are coming around!!

everyone has their own views and beliefs, no matter what religion or no religion at all.. i just had fun bugging her with my gum back then, LOL..
she was a sweet lady though, i see her now often where i work..she visits often.. she always remembers me and points to her nose.. lol !!

Really that is good that you can have a relationship with the nun now..is it Catholic where you live in that part of Canada?? Just wondering?? How about the Jewish areas? Are there any??

I confess:

I still use Sweet N Low even tho I know its bad for me.

I am getting tired of looking at my house being a mess and hearing people telling me not to clean (because of these hernias) but also not getting any offers to help so I am going to clean today

I love succulents. You would think as a gardnener I would have indoor plants but I have only two. I tend to kill them. I am so not an indoor plant person. This might need to change.

I confess I am ready for another vacation and I just return from Mexico last month. I confess I am becoming addicted to Auctions. I bid on a camera and a DVD portable player and won the bid and plan to return to the Auction this Saturday. My granddaughter wanted a DVD player to have in my car for when we go on long trips now she has it and I have another camera. I confess I count the days and can not wait until March 17.

*I feel horrible for homeless people in the cold weather;

*I want to move somewhere warm, so I can fish every day;

*I am in the mood to go skeet shooting.

i confess..

- i am a much stronger person these days with the ability to think of my own well being - and depend on those i ♥ to help guide me with things i have difficulty seeing for myself just yet..i'm blessed to have unconditional love & protection, true friends & my future's so bright, i gotta wear shades!

- no more dwelling, no more visiting the past unless it's to draw strength or to heal & let go, no more allowing soul suckers to use & abuse, and lastly no more self abuse - i'm finding so much to love & it feels wonderful.

- i woke up this morning feeling better than i ever have, feeling pretty terrific about life, and everything it has to offer.. the sun is shining, opportunities are knocking, and i'm ready for more change - the kinds that compliment me and allow me to be who i am, because that's acceptable!

- i found something out this morning about someone that absolutey blew me away.. it makes me sad how people feel the need to better themselves at the sake of using and abusing other people.. theres too much of this in the world, coupled with starving people right in our own country, the hate & ignorance, the sickness, and our environment issues - i wish i had the power to heal, to end hate, and to make changes to things that just seem so wrong.. if i could just find a genie in a bottle that would grant me one wish even..i'd make it a really, really good one!

I confess:

I had a donut on Saturday
I am smiling for good reasons
My house needs the furniture totally rearranged
I need stuff to make that happen
I need more time

Arwen · 02-17-2011, 10:02 AM

I confess:

I got my living room rearranged
I like it this way
I need to take someone on a 360 Skype tour
My hip is warm because of my puppy sleeping there
I'm going to go watch my taped shows now
I still love this thread
I'm so happy with my life and friends right now

I must confess,

A surprise gift has me crying. I'm not sure how to say thank you. I will be making a trip to the store tomorrow and picking them up a card. I have tried to remain strong for my mom, today is the first day I have cried since Monday. I know my grandma isn't coming back and it hurts. She was my last grandparent and I feel sorry for the young girl who hit her. I hope my roommate comes home soon, if I talk to her, I will be ok.
