I am grateful that the urge is not very strong

I am grateful that the urge is not very strong today. I should be at 2 years, yet I am not even at 4 months. Some days the urge is almost overwhelming, heck, sometimes it is, and I give in. I am grateful that I feel confident that I can do this.

I also think about the time I have wasted an how I’m only at 12 days when I think it should be longer. I agree that some days the urge is much stronger than other days. I try to just keep myself busy.

It's all good, just remember, as they say , each and every one of us only has 24 hours at our best. Don't worry about the count. Worry about the 24.

One exercise that helps tremendously for me is getting out in nature. Going some place where people are not necessarily present but God's presence, power, beauty and majesty is so very undeniable. Something about The Silence but yet the ever-present voice of God being surrounded in all of his creation, strengthens me. Solidifies my resolve.

Nature is a great place to go I do agree. I like to hug various trees and take a few deep breaths with each tree. Just trying to feel more connected with the nature doing so

So funny, I told someone the same thing today. It still boggles my mind how we can sometimes hold ourselves accountable to a degree that we would not ever expect of anyone else

And most importantly Kristen, thank you! Thank you so very much for saying that
