I Too, Am Not Jello!!

I read a great article on Home Education Magazine's website, written by an unschooling mom. It was just what I needed this morning. Click here to check it out.

I found myself beginning to worry about yesterday's blood pressure reading, even after I told myself I wasn't going to. I woke up wishing I could just stay asleep and not face the day's reality. I pushed through promising myself I would continue to take steps towards health and not focus on the negative. Then I read Ms. Kilgore's article and found my moxie.

I am not Jello. I will never fit into anyone's mold. I am moving towards my goals, and I am enjoying the journey. That's what's important. Yesterday's speed bump may propel me in a different direction than I expected, but I can adapt and evolve. I'm not stuck in a mold I can't break out of.

Dawn, stressing over it would only make it worse anyways, think positive and continue on your journey of health. Off to read the article.

Great article. We've tried to fit in with many of the local homeschoolers but we too are not Jello.

Good article that can apply to people other than homeschoolers! Joe tells me (because I was a worrier) that worry is interest paid in advance for trouble that rarely comes. Worry doesn't change a thing, so why worry? I love your attitude!!

AMEN! We have experienced our speed bump, as you know, with Roger's diagnosis. It's just a speed bump! :o)
