Letting Go & Moving Forward 2

[littleGTO]

Knowingly been on this journey for almost 11 months, but really sitch has been closer to 18 months.

I posted this on ruby's thread, but with her encouragement I posting it here too.

Here's what I've learned on my journey:
- Take the high road- always.
- What you give is what you'll receive.
- Negative emotions CAN be good & channeled in a positive way.
- Forgiveness is not only valuable, but necessary --for yourself and for S.
- Nothing good ever comes from spewing negativity onto others.
- Love yourself.
- Love the people you love unconditionally.
- WE are not the judges of others- only HE (God) is.
- We learn more from our mistakes than anything else.
- We grow from our mistakes & hardships.
- To be loved we must first love ourselves.
- Life is much easier and fulfilling to have others you care about traveling this journey with you.
- A blanket & a friend ARE invaluable.
- Through the emotions is the only way forward.
- We do NOT control others, but we CAN & should control ourselves & our actions. Others will react to us based on how we project ourselves.
- Nobody is promised tomorrow, so make TODAY count.
- Count your blessings every day. There are so many (esp if one has children).
- We are not on this journey alone. HE walks with us every step of the way.

Feel free to add onto this list with your own.
