Heartbreak, Healing and other H words.

Have you ever had the air knocked out of you?

I remember when I was in elementary school we had this jungle gym type of structure that was shaped like a school bus.  You could climb in through a hole to look like a door and crawl your way to the back and slide down a pole.  There were all sorts of beams and the more coordinated children would do flips off of the poles.  I was not one of the more coordinated children, but one day I decided I wanted to flip over the bar.  I sat on it, dangled upside down, and let go.  Instead of gracefully landing on my feet like everyone else, I landed flat on my back.  I had the breath knocked out of me.  Being a small child, this freaked me out.

Years later as a teenager, I decided to try to perform the same tasks off of a porch swing.  To the same result, I landed on my back finding it hard to breathe.

Today, I feel much of the same sensation.  The air is knocked out of me and it's hard to breathe. 

I guess it's sad that I'm dang near thirty and I'm just now experiencing heartbreak for the very first time.  I thought I had been in love before, apparently I was wrong.  Or maybe it gets worse with age.  Who knows?  All I know that this is something I have never felt before and quite honestly would never like to feel again.

I have cried my fair share over breakups, but this is a whole different animal.

I'm not sure how people cope, I'm apparently doing a crappy job at it.

I can't let go, I'm afraid that once I do, I will never be able to get him back.  I'm quite sure I never will anyway.

All and all, this sucks. 

How am I supposed to pretend like I'm ok with this?

Jeans

No matter how stores try to candy coat it, there is a certain stigma around the plus size section of stores.  They can call it curvy or misses or whatever, but we all know what it is.  There is an imaginary line in the middle of the store where no one wants to cross.  At least that's how I feel about it.  I'm sure the girls on the "regular" side could careless, or the workers for that matter, but I always feel self conscious when shopping on the side of the store.  Sure, you get used to it and laugh when you're with your skinny friends and say "I'll be over on the big girl side" and saunter on your way to the plus size section.  While you began to search through the racks on your side, you secretly long to be on the other side of the store, where there is double, sometimes triple the selection of clothes.  You find something, take it back to the dressing room to try it on.  It doesn't look right, it's too tight, it's not what you thought ...

Better

Last year during a book study at school we were reading The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon.  One of our assignments during our study was to pick one word for our year which is also based on a book, My One Word by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen. Long story short, instead of making a resolution for the New Year.  You pick a word.  If you go here  you can read about that. Basically, here is a simple three step introduction. Step One:  Determine the kind of person you want to be. Step Two:  Identify the characteristics of that person. Step Three:  Pick a word. Last year, I picked the word consistent. I felt that I did a good job being consistent. I started thinking about what word I wanted to use for 2019.  I have been thinking for a few weeks.  I have still been thinking about the person I want to be this year, and for every year for that matter.  I have thought about those characteristics of that person.  And today, on th...

Transformation Tuesday

Good Tuesday Morning to you all! I am up bright and early to go to a workshop today.  It was hard to get up, which is funny because I get up early every other day. Anyways, this blog isn't about my workshop, it's about Transformation Tuesday.... I literally just read a quote on facebook while I was looking for a picture to use, that sums up transformation:  Transformation is not easy. It starts on the inside before you see it on the outside. There are struggles. It comes with pain. It comes with a lot of hard work and effort. Without going through the tough stuff you aren't able to enjoy true transformation. Don't be discouraged but the rough days. Greater things are on the other side! ♥   That's the honest truth.  Transformation isn't easy, but it is the most enjoyable thing I have experienced.  And the thing about transforming your body, you also transform your mind.  Everything changes.   This is me.  This is me before...
