Moments of fear and sadness crept up on me last week, It was a difficult weekend, but I made it through just fine. So, what is the Silver Lining to a crappy, feeling a little weak weekend?
The fact that I knew it, the fact that I recognized it, THE FACT THAT I CHANGED IT!
It is such a fabulous feeling to know that I am the only person who controls my feelings, my thoughts and my actions.
So on friday I was feeling weak....Let me share what I did to change this:
Friday Night: 10 Mile Run, I am NOT Weak, proven
Friday Night: Contacted Friends. Made a play date for my guy and I with his brother and his mom
Friday Night: Made a play date for me with Friends on Thursday when my guy visits his Dad
Friday Night: Made a play date for me and my little guy on Saturday with another Friend and her girls
Saturday Morning: Gave two golf lessons and then played golf at Black Diamond Ranch, it is beautiful there!
Saturday Afternoon: Went to the dollar store and filled my cart with Arts and Crafts for my little guys playroom. I love dollar stores!
Saturday Night: Picked up my guy and went to Dunkin Donuts for Ice Cream!
Sunday Morning: Went to a beautiful session of Church with My Guy where we sang our heart out and listened to a great Sermon.
The point is not what I actually did, but what I focused on...... I filled my life with what is really important to me;
FRIENDS; really good people. I love being around really good people.
RUNNING; I love Running, I love how strong I feel when I finish a good hard run
GOLF: I love to teach and play golf,
CHURCH: I really love listening to Pastor Ray and his sermons, (he is the closest thing I have here in Florida to my younger brothers, Hank Smith, motivational speakings in Utah). Church reminds me that there is good in this world and we can be a part of that good.
MY GUY: I love making fun things with my little guy, I love going out to dinner or desert with my guy, I just love my guy and I am always happiest when I am doing anything for or with him!
I spoke to a close friend over the weekend who is like a father figure to me, he gave me some much needed inspiration. He reminded me to press on and that everything was going to turn out OK in the end. He reminded me that what I want most for Cooper and I is not that far away and he was 100% sure that soon we would be where we want to be.
So, I went back to my "Inspiration to Desperation" Quotes on file and found the one on this post.
This is what I take out of it the most.
Hard times are going to sneak back in, accept it, that just shows that your human! What you do once your realize those feelings are trying to work your way back into your mind is what matters now.
HOLD THE GROUND.
Do not let fear, doubt or troubling times change your mind
Stay Strong and Press On
The PRESENT is just the pathway to achieving your dreams for the FUTURE.
