A New Journey….
I am embarking on a new journey.
Before I embark, I want to thank everyone who had a kind word for me on my last blog. I would like to thank everyone who prayed for my family and I because God listened and God has spoken. The time has come for me to take stock of my life, leave the past where it belongs and move forward. I am scared and hopeful, but I know that good things await.
I am packing lightly on my new journey, but I am taking my weight-loss and fitness goals along with me. The time has come for me to grow up. I have to admit that more often than not, I live in a fantasy world and that my feet are never firmly grounded. I need help. I know that I cannot embark on this journey alone. I am turning to God on this one.
I know the days, weeks, months and years ahead will be challenging but I accept the challenge with grace, humility and more importantly, with open arms.
Buddies, I am a semi-responsible child. I am inmature and my lack of maturity has hurt me, it has kept me from reaching my full potential. I am a functioning child…meaning, I can hold a job and do well in it, I can be a mom and a spouse and do a decent job of it, but more often than not, I am DREAMING up my life instead of doing…so truly, I have not been LIVING!
It took a Hellish week in my life to realize that as often as I threaten to leave my marriage, the truth of the matter is that the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence, because the most important and precious gift life and God has given me, is right here under the same roof—my family!
Although I have provided so much for my family, there is so much more I could give them and yet, I am not doing so because again, I am too busy living in a fantasy world. It’s a shame.
I am recognizing it now and I am willing to make the necessary changes!
Thank you once again for all your support!

Hey,
Sounds like you have reached one of those life “epiphanies” that move us forward.
I can’t say that at times I also don’t fantasize about what might be vs. working on creating the life I want.
Good for you, you’re ready to move forward and make changes. You can do it!
Who says your bucket list has to be something you do when your older. Lets make a bucket list and do it now! Sounds liek your journey and mine are very similar. Im glad your doing better I thought about you all week
I hear you. There comes a time when you just do because that is what adults do. I feel like a child too sometimes, but just know you are a wonderful person and you can add brave to the list of your many wonderful attributes. You are so wonderful. I know I hide behind my weight and do not live up to my full potential. And, I got real with my picture. I put the real one that is not dark. It is the real deal and now this is something I have never done. WHO CARES, yes? Now it is time for us to live. You have me intrigued……. I can not wait to read more Jo. You are beaUtiful !!! *hugs*
You sound more grounded this time. Good for you! Hang in there.
I hear you too Jo and I agree with everyone’s comments as well, but I can’t help but wondering…it sounds like you are taking much of the responsibility of whatever is happening on your shoulders. I have a hard time believing that it can’t be spread a little bit more evenly. But then I’m biased and love you to pieces!
Wow…powerful! I dont know what you are going through but I can relate to some things you wrote…
God is the reason I can still function…that and my kids.
You sound determined and ready and that is good. I am sending a supportive hug your way and a hand if you need it…
Take care!
Awesome lady! With God we can ALL be so much more.
I do pray for you. Please remember to take care of you, that is so important, a healthy, happy you is what your family needs most of all! Hugs, Kama
