30 Days of Truth - Day 30: A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.

I made it!  The end of the 30 Day Project is upon is.  I'm proud of myself for sticking with it and posting at least once a day, which was the reason behind the project in the first place...  to get me interested in the blog again.  And I think it succeeded for the most port.  Though I may take a tiny break from it for this week... not sure yet.  There may be things that pop up that are blog-worthy... we'll just have to see. :)

Dear Jon-  (No, it's not one of those letters...)

I love you're new outlook.  Without it, you might still be shuttered in a closet somewhere.  I love your personality.  You bring a bit more humor into the world with your shenanigans.  I love your honesty and truthfulness that you've displayed over the last 30 days.  And I love that you plan to continue that honesty in the days ahead.

Sincerely,
Yourself

30 Days of Truth - Day 29: Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.

I've already done it.  Now I hope to stick with it.

Being more "me"... being out there more and not hiding who I really am.  So technically, I've already changed that... but I need/want to consistantly push myself further.  I probably won't ever have the courage to come out to my parents (if you're reading this, Mom and Dad, I guess we to talk huh?) but I'd like to keep moving that direction.

Only time will tell if I have truly been successful in my efforts.  When you see the engagement announcement, you'll know. :)

Doctor Time

Time to hit the doctor and see what he says about my little stomach issue... updates later.

30 Days of Truth - Day 28: What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?

The likelihood of this happening is EXTREMELY remote. LOL  But I guess the question is "what if"... so I'd have to say I would hope we were married... but if not, I'm not going to compound one sin with another by having any abortion...  but I think I would defer to whatever the Mother thought.  If she wanted one, I wouldn't be happy about it but would agree to it.  If she wanted to raise the child and wanted help, I'd be there for her.  If she wanted to have the child and then put it up for adoption, I'd support that as well.

Five Days In

I've been feeling queasy for 5 days now.  No matter what I eat, my stomach grumbles and cramps up.  Have completely eliminated the foods that usually do it to me, but it's still going on and I'm getting sick of it.   Am probably going to have to see the doctor soon...

30 Days of Truth - Day 27: What’s the best thing going for you right now?

Hmm... this one didn't line up so well on the calendar.  LOL   It's Monday morning, traffic coming in to work was lousy because school is back in session, and I still am having some stomach issues.  So right now, thinking about the "best thing going for me" isn't exactly easy.

I guess I could say the best thing is I did come in to work... that I still have a job, albeit one that is also dying... but for now at least I collect a paycheck.  Which is more than can be said for quite a few others in today economy.

30 Days of Truth - Day 26: Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?

This one's been sitting in drafts all day.... almost forgot to post it!

No... I've never been that far in despair or depression to give up on life.  There is always something worth living for, be it ever so small.  Sure there have been plenty of hard times, but those incidents are what define us and make us stronger.

My faith helps me through some of the tough times too.  I have a cross-stitch that was given to me upon my Confirmation from a congregation member...  I can't get a good picture of it now, so I'll post it tomorrow.  But it's a great reminder that I always have backup... and no matter what happens, it's nothing I can't handle.
