A New Way Of Thinking | thornyasarose's Blog

So, now I have my very own computer. This is a first. I have never even had my own television. I just have never made such a purchase for myself. Others, yes. And have enjoyed every time I have done so. But for me, no. It just is not in my nature to make big purchases for me. I just have never even considered such a thing. But now that I have done this... Geez, this is great! I am actually having fun. And, guess what? No guilt. I really feared that I might be feeling as if I hade been imprudent, but.... well, I paid my bills, so.....why should I? No one that I am responsible for is going without something they need. So, I am making a decision about something today. I am deciding that I deserve some of my own attention, care, kindness, time, good hearted encouragement, understanding, forgivness, gentleness, tenderness, and love. I have decided that I need to treat myself as I treat others. I need to be good to me. I need to remember myself when I budget my spiritual, emotional, time, and financial accounts. I truly need to love me AND treat myself as such. So, today I begin a new way of thinking and....living. Today may really be "the first day of my new life".
