Killing time.

Jeez I am feeling bored tonight and I'm trying to stay away from the kitchen. The truth is I was supposed to be going out on a long awaited date tonight, however I was advised late Thurdsay that he could not make it and asked if I would consider a raincheck until this week. Under normal circumstances I would have said no worries, however, there is a bit of a history here and I told him it's probably better to just not even try to reschedule. I really had a great feeling about this guy when I met him but I am no longer sure and I think I would rather concentrate on working towards a brand spanking new me instead of falling into another doomed relationship. lol

Anyway, I have been adding some new quotes to my page. I absolutely love inspirational quotes. I remember as a teen having the words "TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE" placed on the wall just inside the door of my bedroom. It used to inspire me to move forward. Forget the past and concentrate on the future. Somehow I managed to forget about that quote but perhaps I will have to find a new spot to write it down. The quote about power = strength over time came from an old video I have about Oprah Winfrey and her weight loss efforts. I never forgot that, and hopefully I am well on my way to being powerful. Finally, a few years back I signed my niece up for boxing. She was having some trouble at home and was a very angry kid and we both thought it would be good for her. On the night she signed up they gave me a brochure to read over and I found this on the inside. It has since become my absolute favourite and motivating passage to read.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”Marianne Williamson
