"What other people think of me is none of my business."
I needed this reminder today! Often times we don't live
up to other peoples expectations and they become very
unhappy with us. In the old days (before starting this
journey) their mood and opinions were a focal part of
my life. I worked hard trying to keep them happy and
trust me, it was exhausting......
I have learned that my feeling are valid because their mine
and I've learned to trust and rely on them. Not everyone
around me will agree with me and that's OK, their feelings
are valid too. I don't need other peoples approval, what's
important is I can look at my face in the mirror and know
that I am being true to myself.
Today, I am reclaiming my life and all my feelings, the good,
the bad and the ugly. With God's help I will sort through
and keep the good and figure out what direction I need to
be heading with the rest of it. I know that I have a loving
Higher Power, who will get me to exactly where I need to be.

Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl
Responsibility is our topic for this weeks meeting, good
