Resolute

[ahavah]

I hate starting posts with definitions, but since there are several ways of looking at this word, I wanted to narrow it down to one to focus on. This is the one that seems to stand out for me:

Having a decided purpose; determined; resolved; fixed in a determination; hence, bold; firm; steady. I had a decided purpose once, but boy, 2008 really set

I think you're doing an amazing job as it is. Taking the time to heal and focus on you and your family was important. I really admire the strength you have,because put in the same situation I'm not sure I could deal.

[ahavah]

Thank you so much! Yes, I'm kind of surprised that I did deal, but I guess sometimes that's the only thing you can do. I'm glad you think I'm strong, though. Sometimes it's hard to feel it.

Returning to your path is a great place to start over. Well said.

Thank you!

I wish you well in 2009 and here's hoping for a much better year!

[ahavah]

Thanks so much! I hope your year is filled with happiness, as well.

As you know, sometimes our travels take us on a detour. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is get back on the path, but you are doing it! This past year dealt me a few doozies myself, and my main goal this year is pretty similar to yours. Hopefully we can send each other positive energy to help each other keep on track. Shoot, we live close enough that we can just tie it to a rock and throw it to each other. :)

You're so strong to deal with all you've dealt with over the past year, and already be back on the path. I respect that SO much.

Have a great day and I'll talk to you again soon! My family is here for another couple of days so I'm trying to spend as much time with them as possible....

Take care,

Thank you so much! I would be delighted to walk a bit together and encourage each other. :) My main failure with this is a failure to keep it at the forefront of my consciousness. If I can be mindful, I usually do much better.

Have fun with your family! I'm in no rush.
