Truly make a difference? I ask on a spiritual level. I don't have a job outside of the home. I'm a den leader for cub scouts and belong to a garden club. I sometimes wonder about my self worth.
About a month ago during a sleet and freezing rain storm a little lost dog ran up to me outside my home as I got out of my car with my kids. Poor thing was soaked to the skin, scared, and bleeding. I being the soft hearted (albiet stupid) person I was let the dog come in my house. I posted flyers all over town, called all the shelters, police stations, ect. And two days later no one had called for the dog. Everyone in my family was telling me to get rid of it that I didn't need another dog. (I have a 125lb lab) Finally the day before I was to take it to a shelter the dogs owner called me at 9:00 p.m. crying her eyes out begging me to tell her I still had her dog. Long story short she was reunited with her dog and I got the warm and fuzzies.
Later that night my husband asked me why I always go through the trouble to help people or animals and I told him... " I don't have a job and I dont make much of a difference in this world but for once I made a difference. It may have made the difference between that dog being put down or finding her family. But I made a difference."
I believe that this weight loss for me isn't just about losing the weight. Its a spiritual journey toward total wellness. I believe that I started to heal once I decided I was okay with whatever size I was. This Way Of Eating has helped me with that and its made me a more peaceful person.
Thanks everyone to reading my ramblings!
