Remembering

Today

I am quiet

Not in retreat

Rather Renewal

Renew my Soul

Create in me a clean heart

A right mind

May I honor You

Today

Tomorrow

Each moment

Fill me

Make me new

Hold me

Shape me

In the Shelter of

Your Embrace

Beauty of Your words

Magnificence of Your creation

I am Yours

All of me

Renewed by Your Presence

Always

Forever

Humbled by Your Grace

In love with You

My Lord

My Redeemer

My All in All

Remember,

from me to me with love.

Passing a car with a human, stuffed inside, looking uncomfortable. Shifty glances, eating, crumb covered. I remember ninety pounds ago. I was you.

My body ached, walking hurt, bladder hurt, heart hurt, blood pressure high, cholesterol high, energy low, spirit low, unhappy, ackward, feeling unlovable, difficulty focusing, avoiding, wishing to hide. I remember ninety pounds ago. I hurt.

Joyfully today I woke up, did my habit stacks, loved how I looked, less achy, clarity of mind, happy, peaceful. I remember ninety pounds ago. This wasn’t me.

Today life is better, life is good. I protect, cherish, embrace, nourish and celebrate this life. I will remember, when the going seems tough, ninety pounds ago it was tougher. All that I have released, all that I have gained. Pros outweigh the cons.

Truly I am living happy, thin, free, unstoppable. I remember ninety pounds ago, that wasn’t me. Today and forever more, joyfully living, thriving, happy, thin and free. Profound gratitude fills me, today. One day, moment at time. I will remember, live, strive and thrive.

Remember, from me to me with love.

There is a beautiful melody

Floating in the clouds

Raise your arms, spin, twirl, release

You are one

Embraced

loved

Whole

Inside

Deep within

Resides

Love

Peace

Joy

Fulfillment

Raise your arms

rejoice

allow

beauty

to

fill

empty spaces within

Lift your gaze

heavenward

believe

rejoice

You are mine

I am Yours

We are one

Eternally

Forever more
