Just Julie

This is where you discover me...and then get to know me...all for FREE! The beginning of this blog, up until date 4-7-05, was geared toward Writing.Com and was a journal before the site gave us the blog option. Thus, it may not make sense. But I ask that you forge through and meet the strange characters and happenings that make up my daily life, my trials and my joys.

Ugh

I feel unwell today, like a twisted gut underneath my skin is screaming, "Stop it, you ingrate!" It is only natural that I would feel this way. I have been, um, unwise of late. I can fully understand the sins others can't put down, though I don't struggle with them as they do. Nope. Just this whole unhealthy lifestyle that makes me feel like I am dying.

I am spending an uncomfortable day at work before the computer because of all my bad choices. I just want to lay down and shut my eyes for a week, sleep off the poison and move forward with brimming new hope and renewed passion. Or, I would trade it all for one year of good choices.

Sometimes, I have a really hard time with my human frailty. I imagine how easy it is to change and then I choose not to change. And I think most times that that is what frustrates me. I lay broken at the bottom of a steep staircase and I know that it was my decision to leap but, wow, it still hurts and I still hate the dark letters hovering above me. Failure, they say, and are unrepentant in their cold accuracy.

So, I wax poetic as my stomach knots and unknots itself constantly. I guess we all see that I am a failure in this area. I just hate knowing it myself.

    You left a comment on my blog, and when that happens I alway venture backwards to find the soul who stumbled upon my ramblings and thought enough to say something!

    Thank you! I have read enough of what you have written to leave me absolutely dumbfounded. But in a good way.

    I have no idea who you are, but as I sit here, knee deep in a Bible, and a few piles of other books designed for living your best life ever - I can't help but wonder if my little talk with God the other day may have had some impact on the moon and stars!

    No...I am not a nut job! Somebody striving for my best life ever and have found the only route to that seemingly moving target is through God alone.

    We have a great deal in common! I plan to keep reading!
