Perception changes

 This post is really not directly weight loss related, but during my mediation this morning before work, I started to reminese about my childhood. My cousins, friends,  and I would  spend countless hours playing  outside. Often times we would sit on the porch and "play pretend" games. We often would say, "the next car that is going come by is going to be my car", or  If in a car, the next house that we pass would be my house or the type of house that we would like in. We would often get the Jcpenny Christmas book and would have our Christmas list all made out based on what we wanted.  As we got older,Often times, we would chastise each other about relationship and boy friends . We would often discuss how things were going to be when we were grown women. Let me fast forward  about  25 years. We are ALL successful  women doing  our own thing!!!  

Often I look over my life, my mistakes and the obstacles that I have overcome and I realize that I am thankful for everyone and was and is in my life. I think about those cars, jobs, men that we would sit on the porch and discuss, or on the phone for hours planning out

Everything. I now realize that God had already planned out our lives and the people that he placed in them. I think how my perception has changed. Some things have changed for the better and other not so good. However, I challenge you  to continue to press forward and keep it moving. The older we get, the wiser we become. Think of all you have acquired from the time we would sit upon the porch and continue to DREAM BiG!
