Doesn't that feel good?<BR/><BR/>@Lisa - Yes, that proverbs woman is intimidating, but I take her for what she was and relates to today. What I can accomplish to better myself and those around me I will strive to do. That which is only for lifting up ones image I'll leave behind.<BR/><BR/>@Nooner - You are so right! Just the fact that we can say to ourselves we're actually feeling well with the world is a major step, isn't it? Ha, though wouldn't you know that day after I wrote this I came down with a sore throat. Figures! Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned any bible verses . . . could there have been some blasphemy I missed and am now being punished for? Na . . . but I do often wonder how the cosmos works it's superstitions.Jungle Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10238933269924331841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5410193057875322980.post-68092049524142373582008-05-22T16:55:00.000+02:002008-05-22T16:55:00.000+02:00Hi Mama ;-)You said tons here.

What amazes me is that you achieved an amazing accomplishment, i.e. a serious self-look and understanding of what exists today for you, and ideas of what you need to change or continue going forward. So, so glad you said the words "I feel great". More accomplishments can follow with that attitude.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>~Nooner~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5410193057875322980.post-9023991765423633522008-05-22T03:22:00.000+02:002008-05-22T03:22:00.000+02:00Sigh.

I love God and I love His word, but I always think about Miss Bennett telling Mr. Darcy that she wonders how he knows ANY "accomplished women" ... based on Mr. Darcy's own definition. I'll be looking forward to hearing how your new perspective and focus goes. You sound wonderful - your writer's voice is enthusiastic, clear and insightful. {And if you let me come to your tasty Italian dinner, I'll be sure to bring some good dessert. ;)}Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326454493728489973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5410193057875322980.post-42020768833238302782008-05-22T01:21:00.000+02:002008-05-22T01:21:00.000+02:00Sooooooo eloquently written, my dear.

The 20lbs that somehow dropped off you (and i am sooo jealous of! i am drinking my water like crazy here!), the way you kiss and cuddle the girls with all you have, the way you know how to lift other's spirits - amazing. <BR/>Your advice i take with both hands, i am so grateful that i have found a friend in you.<BR/>love, daphneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
