New Month

Hi dear ones
     We are starting a new month, which is great.  Every month I make a new start.  Today I weighted myself and took my measurements.  Good in some areas and not so good in others.  That is why each month is a new beginning and a re commitment.  I have been working on my six in six manual today and writing down my intentions and declarations.  It makes one think of what is really important to us in our lives and what we want to do with the rest of our life.  Part of that is to write down at least five thinks that you are grateful for each day.  This has caused me to really think about what I am grateful for.  Even though I have some health issues I am grateful for the health that I do have.  I am able to walk, think, plan and accomplish what ever it is I want to.   I can work on my health issues and I have wonderful friends and family that inspire me take care of those issues in a natural loving way.  I am taking six garlic pills a day instead of the blood pressure medication that the doctor gave me.  What is interesting is that my blood pressure is the same as when I was taking the drug.  The side effects from the medications for high blood pressure and diabetes is a dry hacky cough which I have had for awhile.  I have only substitute garlic for seven days now but I do feel better.  I am going to give this a month and see what happens.  I am also on Chromium for diabetes.  I still take the medication as well and we will see when I go in for a A1C how my blood sugar is.  I am excited about the changes in my life. 
     In my favorite book "Feelings buried alive never die"  the feelings surrounding diabetes is JUDGING self and others severely emotional shock, Joy of life gone.  Those around blood pressure are feeling powerless in some area of life, feelings of deep anger, feelings of fear.  I have come to realize that I judge myself very severely and that in many areas of my life I have felt powerless over situations.  In the last ten years I have had a lot of anger about things that have happened.  I must work on these things and as I do I will have complete health.  My real challenge will be to not judge myself and find fault with all the things that I feel are failings.  The other day I couldn't find any thing about myself that was beautiful, worthy, or appealing.  Thanks to my wonderful daughter that has been my sounding board and full of wisdom helped me to see that I have lots of good qualities and I am a wonderful person.  I have great talents that I have been blessed with and many more that I can develop.  Self worth is so very important  to us achieving success in every area of our life and yet most of us lack in this important quality, I know I sure have.  The only thing that I regret is that it has taken me so long to learn that.  However now that I have learned that I shall practice everyday to build mine and others self worth.  This is life a wonderful journeyy and the excitement is great.  I hope you all have a GREAT day.
