Vows

By definition a vow is a promise or an oath.. it isn't necessarily for marriage or religion. My vow is to myself. This particular vow isn't about my health, diet, education, etc. It is a vow to myself to surround myself and fill my life with only people who believe my happiness is important. Too often I allow someone to make me feel insignificant for a multiple of reasons. But I can't do that to myself anymore, I deserve better! This is for my soul. Happiness is the most important thing. Its what the earliest philosophers understood was the driving force in the universe. So I too shall focus on my happiness. Its not about money, image, beauty, or any other truly unimportant reason..its to love and be loved in return. To those who I love and love me in return, thank  you for your forgiveness when I've wronged you. Thank you for your shoulder when I needed to cry. Thank you for your hand when I was falling. Thank you for being apart of my life. No one owes anything to you, doesn't matter if they are family or not. They have chosen to be apart of my world and that is truly an amazing gift! There is a new Tim McGraw song out that fits how I feel about all the positive changes I've made in my life lately.. "I ain't no angel. I've still got a few more dances with the devil. I'm cleaning up my act little by little. I'm getting there. I can finally stand the 'wo'man in the mirror I see. I ain't as good as I'm gonna get but I'm better than I used to be!!"

I vow to love me because you love me! xxo
