I'm taking the day off. Or maybe the whole weekend.
Off from the computer. Off from the internet.
Why?
I was inspired by this little post.
And this one. And this one, too.
I was hugely inspired by this tremendous quote:
"Take a day to heal from the lies you've told yourself and the ones that have been told to you."
~ Maya Angelou ~
I really don't know where the day will take me, but judging from the number of lies I've told myself and those that have been told to me, and those told about me, it's going to be a long one! Who knows, I might need two. It is time to defy the lie. The timing is perfect, with my current reading The Gifts of Imperfection is the knowledge that it doesn't matter if anyone else knows the lies, as long as I know the truth, that is enough.
(I have to admit, it also helps that my best girlfriends and family also know - a support group is always lovely. And you girls, yes, you know who you are, you are the best!)
How quick do you think I can fill up a journal? Or two?
[ETA: I am so sorry for the concern this post has caused! Thank you so much to everyone who has sent an e-mail, text, BBM, called, etc. My Blackberry has received quite the workout this morning! This is a simple exercise in opening up enough to, taking into account all of the recent lessons learned, look objectively at the lies. None of us, sadly, lives a lie-free existence. This is not a post on my being lied to or hurt by anyone or anything specific - and certainly nothing of an immediate nature. I'm in a good place. Good enough that I can consider some things I've actively avoided. If you are alarmed please don't be :) This is a good thing. Love you!]
