This is perhaps the toughest for me and one that I have struggled with in personal relationships. A few years ago ended one of the more toxic relationships of my life. It ended. I have nothing to do with that person as they proved to be what instinctively I knew they were very early on, but wanted to always give the benefit of the doubt. It was a very hard lesson that cost me financially and emotionally, but what I lost there I made up for in growth.
Though it is still a tough pill to swallow, I have forgiven because I have grown so much. Don't get me wrong though, forgiving was to benefit myself. When I said I'm done with that person, I meant it. I'm done. Even at the beginning when the wound was fresh I knew to completely disengage and to engage would not benefit me. I was done. Never to be re-evaluated. Therefore I will not spend anymore time here.
What came out of that whole situation was how I see people. Remember I said my instincts were right with that person? Well they generally are right. I just don't ever trust them. Guess I wasn't listening to the lovely Ms. O.
What I found in that situation was who my true friends are. Instinctively I reached out to all of the right people and I was shocked to find out how many of them there were. I was only off on one, but to be truthful, that person my gut told me not to trust and I did. So again I guess those instincts were right, I just didn't trust them. What I found are those people who don't offer anything in my life and those people who would march into hell for me without question.

That is all for today on this growth train. Otherwise I'm really proud of myself for accomplishing the following today:
1. Presented an award in front of a crowd. Not afraid of public speaking but I generally would rather stay in the background. I will be the first to admit it went well.
2. Did early morning yoga. Hunties know that it took everything I had to get out of bed, but I did it and now I feel better.
3. Did not stress about all the things I had to do today.
4. Though I had an awards ceremony that I was dreading going to, I went and got to talk to my good friends Alida, Katherine, Lauren, Eric, Josh & Padraic.
Yay Me!
What accomplishments did you have today? Or what are you planning for tomorrow?
