This week is a real mental game for me. I have to constantly remind myself that my own progress, where Im at at my age, and my own happiness in life is all that matters (not what others have achieved, or what others look like). Its because of what Im going to do this weekend, we all tend to compare ourselves to others and let it steal our joy. Naturally because what Im doing I will actually be compared to others, most of whom will be much younger than myself. Im fearful that all anyone will see is my wrinkled skin, because I nit pick at myself just like everyone else does. I forget to look at the big picture. Most of what I say, I need to hear for myself as well as help others. It reinforces what I need to hear. Im scared out of my mind and I know it shouldnt be that way. Its supposed to be fun. And it is. Compared to other times in my life, Im actually enjoying this point in my journey. It still takes mental work for me to overcome the fear, it probably always will be that way for me. Or maybe it will get better someday if I keep trying. When you do something new and step out of your comfort zone, its a mix of excitement and fear. A constant balancing act. So to remind myself and possibly help one other person today Being happy is a very personal thing and it really has nothing to do with anyone else. I have to remind myself that Ive accomplished a lot at age 53, almost 54. Its okay that Im not perfect, its okay that Im a novice in some areas and not a pro. I am my own best, and I am mostly super happy and thankful. I have to CHOOSE to stay happy and thankful. I am doing that now, but it still requires some work on my part. Have an AWESOME Tuesday my friends. The day is still full of opportunity to make good choices! -Roberta
