Just last night, I spent hours crying about my ex. I was hoping that we could get back together because I am very much still in love. However, I was given the cold shoulder. I felt like I had nothing left in the world. Not many friends, no job because I am on disability, no future career and I have put on about 40 pounds in the past year. I am a decent writer but I haven't written anything in almost a year.

I don't know what happened between now and then, but somehow I got a wake up call. Something kicked me in the behind. I am going to stop sleeping late just because I can. I am going to go for a walk in the morning and evening and work out monday - friday to get back in the shape I want to be. I am also going to start eating better... no more salty snacks and desserts and drinking water instead of pop and kool-aid. I am also going to sit in front of this computer every afternoon and start writing again. I am also going to try and stop seeing my life as one that has to be with another person. At least not until I am happy with myself.

It's amazing because even though I didn't get what I wanted, Jesus helped me find what I needed inside me to go on. Praise the lord!
