I have been ...Thank you so much for posting this!!! I have been just sitting in my "pit" being very comfortable in it. I am starting to try and change things... obviously change is hard... Melissa I love your writing......

I hope you read this. YOUR AGE DOESN'T MATTER!!!!! I don't care if you are 12 or 92, there are no age restrictions here and the whole point to this particular blog is to say "yes, beautiful one, you do fit in"! So, I really hope you'll come back! I'd love to get to know you and so would other bloggers. Don't listen to those lies that tell you any different. Ok?<BR/><BR/>And Diane, LOVE YOUR NEW SITE! <BR/><BR/>And Joy, I must confess, I'm so jealous of your writing! It's so eloquent and inviting. I always feel like mine is so juvenile!<BR/><BR/>:) Happy Friday,<BR/>MelissaMelissaTaylor.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12432414882855409285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-71965338774606402102008-07-25T00:32:00.000-04:002008-07-25T00:32:00.000-04:00Melissa,How do I become part of this with you?

I have so much to share but I am a lot older than most of you.<BR/>My kids are raised and gone and I <BR/>have 11 grandchildren so I don't know if I will fit in?.<BR/>Thanks, <BR/>IleneIlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03348911426071174729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-44354625836034160952008-07-24T21:55:00.000-04:002008-07-24T21:55:00.000-04:00Great sharing again tonight Melissa. It's so true...Great sharing again tonight Melissa. It's so true - we can get sooooo comfortable in our 'pit'. Instead of just 'visiting' I have often taken up residence and then it's SOOO hard to take that step out. The familiar can hold us captive, even when we know we should be packing our bags and getting out of there. The dark can provide a false sense of security. Your encouragement here is great!!!! <BR/><BR/>When leaving the pit sometimes we need to set really attainable goals so that we don't seem overwhelmed immediately if we can't meet them in a short period of time and fall back in despair and failure.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you too!<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-34691390694065815722008-07-24T19:36:00.000-04:002008-07-24T19:36:00.000-04:00Melissa,I am so excited to read this tonight.

I am launching a new blog http://askchefdiane.blogspot.com/.<BR/> It is exciting because I made the faithful step. I also went to the pool today and worked out for 45 minutes. <BR/>Being on WW I would not recommend the recipe I created but it is great to savor the picture.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>DianeChef Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364679764455626661noreply@blogger.com
