Good Got not again! How is this going to pan out for our children? I just can't fathom out the minds of these poor excuses for humans.

It truly is a worry but I have to believe that the collective consciousness and love of our beloved world will rise against this terror. Please let it be so.....

Hugs Pebbs and to all of my fellow 24ers

On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. Under these conditions we can employ our mental faculties with assurance, for after all God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.
In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while. What used to be the hunch or the occasional inspiration gradually becomes a working part of the mind. Being still inexperienced and having just made conscious contact with God, it is not probable that we are going to be inspired at all times. We might pay for this presumption in all sorts of absurd actions and ideas. Nevertheless, we find that our thinking will, as time passes, be more and more on the plane of inspiration. We come to rely upon it.

It's going to get better. And I still need to PM....I will do that in a little while.

Love you.
Thank you my friend- I've been down every eating disorder road possible and I'm glad you mentioned the word "habit" because in reality that's all this is and I just need to find a way to break it. Easier said than done but not impossible.
Meeting my new therapist next week- he totally understood me when i told him it's not about the alcohol or the food- it's about an addiction to not being able to cope with reality in a healthy way and using the wrong coping mechanisms/defense mechanisms. Time to put my battle armor down and take life as it comes.

Love you too...

There is so much good in the world right now as well- so many people awakening to their higher selves and ready to take the next step towards enlightenment. We just don't hear about these people on the news.

I beleive everything happens for a reason and that we all come into this lifetime with a mission or plan. Each act of violence, while terrible, will bring the rest of us closer together as we search for a way to find peace and spread it.

Let's not get lost in it but stay hopeful and be the change we want to see in the world! Even a smile to a stranger can help. I've been trying to do that more as I have found that I don't always look at strangers when passing them by. Lately when I'm out I say "good morning" or just smile at people. Most think I'm crazy but others smile back or say "good morning" before I do. It's such a blessing as we are all connected.

Didn't mean to go off on a tangent-
Congrats on 2 weeks my friend! You are truly amazing and I am VERY proud of you!!

Think that is why I hang around here so much...and probably get on people's nerves..hate admitting to being lonely...but hey ho....at least I'm not hiding it behind a bottle Jack Daniels now. It's amazing how many friends you lose when you're not the "Party Girl" any more. But I would rather been alone on a desert island than go back to the drinking hell hole.
I too am very grateful for you all. Thank you guys. Xx
