Day Three: Something You have to forgive yourself for.

     Well this one is hard and easy at the same time.  There are a lot of things I need to forgive myself for but finding one that I am comfortable sharing is really hard.  But I think that the one I picked is okay to share.

     I need to forgive myself for not being healthy.  I have thought for a very long time that my actions in the past have created my health problems today.  It is nothing that I have done that caused me to get the disease that I have.  I feel like because I am sick all the time I am a burden on my husband and family.  If I was healthy I could work and maybe Jake wouldn't have to work as hard or long as he does now.  I feel bad cause I can't hike and do the things we did when we were dating.  I need to forgive myself and try to be as healthy as I can be.

     I know my answers are not as good as my first one and reading these may be boring but somethings I just can't type on here because people will and can take them out of context.  But by doing this I am being forced to look deeper and see all the other things that I need to forgive myself for.  And whether it is on here or something I am dealing with alone I feel like I am finding out things that I never knew about myself.

  1. Em,
    You amaze me, balancing three kids and a hubby and with all the challenges you face with your health. My favorite quote is "what does not kill us makes us stronger." It really is true, and I remind myself of that whenever I think I am being weak. You must be a very strong person after all the challenges you have faced and conquered.

    PS- Who cares if somethings are taken out of context after you put them on your blog? It's YOUR blog, and YOUR story. You should put YOUR truth on it.
