Loving Yourself

This is the day set aside each year to tell those we love that we actually love them.  Personally, I think we should be letting them know this every day, but that's just my humble opinion.  I feel truly blessed to know that those close to me love me and they know I love them.  I hope it is the same for you.

We know who we love and who loves us, but do you love yourself?  I think some people can say yes without even thinking about it.  I'm not one of those people.  I had to think about it and realized that the answer is no, I don't think I do.  If I loved myself, I wouldn't be as unhappy as I am with myself and my life right now.  I wouldn't be in this place of self doubt, obesity, and loneliness.  I wouldn't be so afraid to put myself out there and make new friends, or to even just believe in myself.  

I didn't used to be this way.  I explained here on my other blog how I came to be in this place.  Before moving here, I had friends and a life.  I was happy.  I loved myself.

Thank goodness I've already started working on changes that will bring the self love back.  In fact I must love myself at least a little bit to have even taken the first steps towards transformation.

As you make sure the important people in your life know you love them today, take the time to do something special for yourself too.  You are just as important as they are!

Have a very wonderful Thursday!
