Day 344
My big girl has a friend sleeping over tonight so my two girls and their friend are out in the pool having a great time in this heat! I love hearing the sounds of their laughing and the games that they play! It reminds me that even though the players have changed the sleepover game is still the same as when we were kids!
While they are off having fun I am relaxing in the shady breeze reading the most eye opening and inspiring book. If you ever get a chance to read The Buddhist Boot Camp I thoroughly recommend it! It certainly makes you look at things from a completely different perspective and change your attitude and view on things in a positive way.
I know I have changed over the past 12 months and I know that not everyone will like it, but I feel that I have changed for the better. I no longer rely on others to make me feel good about myself and I no longer feel that I have to spend all my time to please others to get their approval. I also used to be the type of person who had to hang around with a lot of people to feel important whereas now I am happy with my own company don't have that urge to have to be with a big crowd to know that I am loved. I think the difference is that I have allowed me to accept myself for who I am and not what others think I should be.
I still love hanging out with my friends but the difference nowadays is that I don't need to hang out with others to be happy. I do it now because I want to, not because I think I need to.
