QUOTE OF THE DAY

Hello everyone. I will not post a quote every day on here unless i'm asked by subscribers. However, I will share some of my most loved quotes under the title 'Quote of the day'. Many quotes I share will be my own. Here is one.

This quote is my own and I've chosen to place it on an image of my Beautiful son Mikey at 1 year old! Every quote has a story and I do my best to live them. They have helped me and I genuinely hope they help you too.

The story behind this one... I remember MANY times when I let someone steal the joy out of my entire day with their words! Sometimes I hurt myself. I would harshly judge myself and for years only seen the worst in me. Other times my hurt came at the hands of Someone else.

Someone may have called me fat, a poor mom, or judge my reasons for why I choose to do or not do something.Ive had people attack my character or my relationship with God and it hurt me so badly that I carried it through my entire day!

I couldn't exercise, play with my kids, enjoy my husband or sleep! It destroyed my entire day. If that wasn't bad enough, many times I woke up the next day feeling that hurt that has now turned into anger. I couldn't go on like this.

When the pain came from my own words or thoughts of myself, I learned to be gentle with myself. If I am doing my personal best then I acknowledged that and cut myself a break! I learned to meditate and pray for self healing. I still do this this. It was all too much for me and one day I said that's it!

I will acknowledge the pain I felt in that moment, but I will not digest it and allow it ruin my entire day. This is when this quote and several others were born. I will repeat these words and shake off that pain. Life is too short!

I hope you guys are blessed in some way by my writings. I would like to think we go through things to come out helping others get through it too.
