Choose to Love on Purpose!

This coming week marks my eight year anniversary since I stopped drinking.  I have come a long way, by the grace of God.  And there are so many people I am grateful for supporting me.

It is a time of reflection for me, oh how I would have done things differently if I only knew how they would impact my life.  The most important fact is how I hurt other peopel & drove most of them away.

Watching some one you love & care about drinking himself to death is horrible.  I truly regret hurting the people I loved & I am so sorry.

I can not make amends with most because they are in Vancouver & I'm here. The best thing I can do is try to become a better person & really choose to love eveyone-loving others is the key to helping others & myself.

It is hard to love angry & hurtful people, however, we do it on purpose.  We know that we may never get anything back in return, yet when we love consistantly, even the coldest, hardest heart is touched.

We do not have to hang around unhealthy people, but when we associate with them-we can love them.

There are people in my life that I have limited contact with, & some not at all.  I am very careful when & how I hang out with them-I am responsible for taking care of me. 

Remember we all have our faults & we will never be perfect-judging some one for thier way of life is not loving & only hardens our heart.

Again, I thank God for so many awesome people who have loved & suported me on my continual journey towards a healthier, happier & more loving life.

We Are All Worth So Much!

God Bless
