I am not amazing or strong or brave. I am trying to accept my current circumstances by approaching them from a different view. I don’t know how this is going to be or turn out.

I’m not about to predict how long any of my changes will last, although I am completely emptied of future plans, and very content with the ones I have made for now.

I am not even going to try to live up to the lovingly offered and hopeful expectations others have for my new life. I just want to improve a little on the amount of free time, spiritual time, sleep time I have been running low on for years.

I want to open my eyes each morning in the next few weeks blessedly realizing that at last something has changed, and thank GOD for the new perspective.

I’m not going to say goodbye to anyone because I am still right here, accessible and open to two-way communication, anytime, all the time.

I am going to ease myself into my surroundings, let practicality decide which adjustments I will make because I need to and which ones I will make because I simply want to.

I am going to say “not now” when I don’t feel like I can, and “absolutely” when I am able; to everything and everyone, equally.

I am going to try and give myself more patience than I show to others; and step off my own toes when I realize I am being unfair to myself, about anything.

I am going to embrace my environments; take advantage of amenities, explore all opportunities.

I am going to be learning from others and GOD, and listening more intensely to others and GOD.

I am going to follow up wishing with prayers and positive actions, and being more open to them coming true.

I am going, and I am going to be.
