Where's your focus?
Too often as I reflect at New Years the focus is only on the things that I need to improve. In time, that's all I see, what's wrong.
Do you see the beautiful tulip or the broken leaf? No optical illusion just which do you see? In counseling I paid a lot of money to fix the broken places. When I started I didn't realize, I was shattered. The pieces are going back together. I sometimes think about just quitting now and not look at what's left. I cut my foot open when I was a kid, the nurse had to scrub it clean before putting on the bandage. My recovery is coming along quite nicely. I don't want to mess things up now by not completing the process. Small fragments left behind will fester and eventually create more pain. One of the blogs I read said that life is like climbing Mount Everest. Quitting now seems like getting just a few hundred yards from the top then going home before completing. Feeling really tired tonight.

You'll be alright.
Push on, Ruth! You deserve to make it to the top!
Maybe we should meet up and have a party there!
Hugs P/M
Thanks Lisa
Thanks (((P/M))) See you at the top...
Honestly? I saw the tulip flower, but was debating with myself whether I like that kind, or if the colour is too harsh. lol.
We don't want to give up half healed, for sure.
Thanks Ellen. Glad you saw the flower first.
Hello Ruth
Actually I saw both. Broken leaf or not it is still a beautiful flower.
I think doubt crept in because of the tiredness… of course you’re going to make it Ruth, with your determination how could you not!!
Take care
