Female Veterans, ROCK

I have had a few days to reflect on my first WVLP face-to-face session. I have to admit I am very anti-social, but I did manage to go above the usual me and hand out with some great people at the casino.

I listened to what they all had to say, and I wanted so much to shout out I know how you are feeling, and I want to assist you to reach a higher level. What I realized from our session; we all have experienced some type of trauma. Personally, I made a decision years ago to not let my trauma define who “I” was or who “I” would turn out to be.

I have seen a lot over the past 70 years, and I truly believe one has to let go and Let God. I don’t see my failures as barriers, but as obstacles that I can (and have) overcome. When I look in the mirror, I tell the person no one can love you more than me. I jokingly remark if someone tries, I might get jealous.

I learned in my early 30’s that blame is a crutch that will cripple you. I stopped the blame game and made the conscious decision that I am in control of my future. I have been blessed to walk this earth for 70 years, and I pray that God will allow me with a sound mind to continue on my journey.

As always, this is my Thought for the Day.
