Positive Thoughts For Me

What and Where

While I am always generous with my love and compassion (forgive me if that sounded pompous but I was told it is sickeningly true) towards others, today, I ask you to please send positive thoughts and prayers my way. As you know, I have been going through a rough patch these days. A surprising and unfortunate turn of events have left me in deep worry and anxiety that I am frankly disappointed at myself.

I always thought I am one of those who can roll with the punches - face it and fight it kinda gal. I thought I can go through this and come out on the brighter side, unscathed. I was wrong. I realize I suck at confrontation and even when people have blatantly done something horrible to me, I still hesitate and think (and think some more) about how they would feel if I do something about it. Sounds weak? Absolutely.

Tomorrow, that will change. There are so many moments in one's life where you pick your battles but there are also times when you say, basta! Enough is enough and you have to stand up for yourself, yes? Tomorrow, I will do something brave and I need all the courage and prayers I can get. I admit I can use a lot of pep talk these days. Will you send me some, friends?

While you're at it, why don'tcha sign up (if you haven't already!) for The Easiest Blog Project Ever! I promise you, this is going to be your comfiest and coziest blog post ever!

Thank you for love and prayers!

Whatever you are going to do tomorrow, you will succeed! Confrontation is very hard to do, but just take deep breathes, stay calm, and it will all be alright. No one deserves to be treated badly, and you need to stand up for yourself. And you look adorable in the snow :)

Whatever your going threw I'm there with and cheering you on in the side lines here's something to get you threw


"When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit."

Life is all about change. I also had a big change last year about me. I am starting feeling and see the results.
All the best..

I am sending some positive love and vibes your way! Whatever it is you are going through, you will definitely overcome! Whenever I'm feeling a lack of positivity, I read this reminder:

"Blocks, struggles and set backs are not bad. No way. Keep the perspective that everything is working out FOR your Highest good. Not getting what you want can be a huge blessing. Do not judge a situation as bad because it’s not going the way “you” want it to.

Instead, detach and see the bigger picture that is unfolding. Know that you are being guided by invisible hands to an outcome that is greater than you could imagine right now.

As they say, set backs are SET UPs for something better. Instead of offering resistance to the set backs and blocks of your life accept them as road signs pointing to go in another direction.

If you take this point of view your life will begin to flow with ease and things will start to work out in better and better ways.

See the big picture."

Sending strength your way. No matter how strong we think we are, everyone has their weak moments. It's a strength to recognize when you can't do things all on your own.

Lori said...

Good for you for standing up for yourself. I agree that it's very hard to do (I hate confrontation) but sometimes you have to take care of yourself.

Ashelle said...

Oh dear!!! I can't believe I missed this. I'm thinking about you and sending all my positive energy and hopes to you today. You are a strong and compassionate person... It's sad to know that someone was an ass to you. I can kick them for you. Take care! I'll see you later to give you a bug hug and buy a drink if it's needed.

Pamela said...

Sorry to hear you've hit a rough patch. Seems like they get to the best of us, huh? I have every confidence that you will not only triumph, but with style and class. Just throw a fierce face in your obstacle's way and watch it wither. Seriously, do it.

Call Me Ishmael

Jamie - Thrifty Threads said...

Good luck, ML. Be true to yourself and don't believe anyone who tells you that you're anything other that kind, compassioate, beautiful, and sensitive. Best of luck to you in this difficult time!

Matt said...

I'm sorry to hear you're going through such a rough patch! Good luck with whatever it is you need to do! I hope it turns out for the best! I love these pictures though!! And what a great outfit!
