Dear
Sheri,
Yes, this letter is to me. Sometimes the best conversation you have is
with yourself. First of all, you must
forgive yourself and the obstacles that you sometimes encounter. You are human and we all make mistakes, it is
ok, except it and move on. Channel your
self in peace and calming breath and take the time to move into a better
place.
You are a remarkable woman who has
brought four very bright and charming little boys into the world. The legacy that they will give to others all
started with you. You are a great mother
and wife and though sometimes you may feel others don’t notice, they really do. Embrace the validation when it comes and try
to remember it when the dark days of loneliness fall.
Sheri, you have come so far in your
weight loss journey. Succeed and don’t
let anyone make you fall into old patterns.
That includes you falling prey to temptation and baked goods that you
have made for others. You need to pull
back and control yourself or you’ll be right back to how you were a year
ago. You have to want to walk away when
you need to walk away.
Lastly, love yourself for the person you
are. You give to others more than you sometimes should. If they don’t see
the person that you truly are than that is their loss. You find good in most people and try to get
others to like you even if it is at your expense. Don’t go back for hurt; some people just understand
that there are such things as doing a kind deed with no hidden agenda.
Continue to be the person that you hope your
children will be proud of and want to be themselves. Teach the gifts of being genoerious, kind and
loving and then you have done your job as a mother. But most of all show them that it is ok to
make mistakes and life isn’t about a score on a page, or a task well done, but
sometimes it is our failures that gives us the best life lesson, forgiveness and
perseverance.
That said, enjoy life, the good and the hard,
and know that all will be ok with a little faith and trust.
~Sheri
