You Put One Foot in Front of the Other...




First, I want to say THANK YOU!! You all are awesome. Your comments and sweet words of encouragement made me realize that I am NOT alone. I am NOT the only person who struggles with staying inside the lines. I am NOT the only person who prefers to stay inside the box of comfort.

So, what did I do?

Well, I realized that each journey begins with a single step.

Yesterday I took SEVERAL.

I STOPPED panicking about an event I'm going to attend tomorrow (Saturday) night.

I'm going. I'm going to stop worrying. I'm going to relax and have fun!

(breathe in, breathe out)

What else did I do?

I scheduled an appointment with one of the trainers at the gym to discuss the best way to approach my return (I was on medical leave and I haven't made time for myself).

I can do this.

I scheduled 2 get-togethers with two of my sweetest and dearest friends.

One foot in front of the other.

I called a friend I haven't talked to in forever.

I reached out.

One foot in front of the other.

And soon you'll be walking cross the floor.

I feel great about these steps.

Tomorrow is scary. It's really a big step for me.

I'm excited. I can. No. I WILL do this.

Everything is gonna be okay.

Happy Friday.

Happy new beginnings.

A few weeks early.

So, where will you be tomorrow night? I'll send some extra prayers your way...
