Ugh... yeah, but almost EVERYTHING is easier said than done if you think about it.

Almost everybody thinks you have to start big but you DON'T! Babies don't start out walking long distances, they start with BABY STEPS.

My pastor wrote in a weekly newsletter that overcoming, moving back into the mainstream of life is like the Hokey Pokey... you put your right foot in, you take your right foot out. He is dealing with grief and slowly getting back into work. But it could apply to this too. You start with one foot, and eventually you put your whole self in. The Hokey Pokey is one of those stupid little jingles in life, and one time I saw a bumper sticker that mused 'what if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about'. I used to laugh at that. But if you think about it, it is a healthy approach to healing and achieving.... you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, and that's what it's all about.
