"KEEP STEPPING FORWARD!"
This month has been a little difficult for me to keep a post going everyday and posting it everyday. I have gotten behind several days in a row, and I have found myself playing "catch up" to getting my blogs posted. I may not be posting everyday; however, I am posting an inspirational saying for each day. Sometimes, depression swarms over me, and it tries to consume me and take me down. However, I keep pressing forward. I keep putting one foot in front of the other, and I keep stepping forward.
Is there something in your life that may be getting you down? Do you feel like giving up? Well, my friend, there are a lot of people in those types of shoes these days. People are losing their jobs, their homes, their loved ones due to illnesses; these days just seem to be dark and dismal. I was asked to leave my job a year ago due to the time I was missing when my husband was going through chemotherapy treatments. My boss felt it would be better for me to resign before my husband had his surgery, because I wanted to be home with him while he was healing. So, now that my husband is back to work full-time, I feel extremely guilty that I am not working because I cannot find a job. I keep filling out job applications, but I never receive a call back for any interviews.
Some days become extremely depressing, but I try to remember that these feelings of despair will soon pass if I do not give up. I have to take one day at a time and keep pressing forward. I need to keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep stepping forward. I read a post on facebook yesterday that stated that if you keep going forward you are one step away from where you started from. This is so true, so keep on stepping forward each day. You will soon see the light at the end of the tunnel.
My blog started out to discuss the journey my family took during my husband's treatment process with stomach and esophageal cancer. However, in the next 365 days, my goal is to post at least one inspirational message every single day. My goal is for 2011 to be the most positive year of my life!

"LIVE BY YOUR OWN RULES!"
Do you ever feel like everyone around you is trying to tell you how to live your life? Do you find people saying to you, "I am not trying to tell you what to do, but this is what I would do"? These people may mean well providing you with information on how they would accomplish a goal; however, their decision may not be good for your life. Set your own standards in life and live by your own rules!
My mother has been a burr in my side most of my life concerning this matter. She always wants everyone to do things according to how she would handle the situation, and sometimes, that just does not work. You are the creator of your own life, so only you know what is good or bad for you. Try not to get too influenced by what other people have to say. Sometimes, we need other people's advice on how to get a task accomplished, but if you find people offering advice when you never asked for advice it is pretty safe to say that person is trying to control your life. There are times when we do not need another person's advice, because we already know how we are going to solve an issue.
Set your own standards in life! Live by your own rules in life! Never live under another person's microscope of how they feel you should live your life. That, my friend, is called control. That person is trying to control your life, and if you are a grown adult, you have the power of making your own decisions in your own life. Live by your own standards and rules!
