I think I assumed more self-doubt than I removed during my own journey, but this community has made me grateful, too ... because it accepts who I am, without any strings attached. And had I not walked this path, I wouldn't have found it. (Somehow it reminds me of that quote from Dune: “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”)Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-13210921670545994912016-01-02T00:22:10.812-08:002016-01-02T00:22:10.812-08:00This gratitude is lovely to see.

I'm so grateful for the people I have met along my journey. I'm sad for those I have lost on this journey as well. I'm most grateful to read posts like this as it helps me remember the good and the light in the sad and the dark. HUGS to you all!!!

I also love the idea of being grateful for the hard parts, because they help make you who you are and stretch you into the wonderful person you are today. Thank you for this gorgeous post on gratitude and facing fears and living through what you thought might break you. I'm glad you have so much to look on with a smile this past year, and hope 2016 is amazing for you and your family.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-24168990875008836392015-12-30T12:05:30.677-08:002015-12-30T12:05:30.677-08:00"as much as I feared all those things, that t..."as much as I feared all those things, that the fear was far worse"<br />Love this, and the paragraph that follows.<br />This post is well timed for me as I feel like I'm entering another phase of facing fears, though a little different this time around.
