Progress

Progress towards anything I am trying to do stands out so much…then all of a sudden it’s like a neon light flashes “REGRESS”.  I’m not referring to my diet this time, just life in general. 
Like so many of us, I am working on making myself a better person.  I am truly working hard at it to.  I am aware of things I’ve never thought of, everything I do or say I think about and analyze and think about how it could have been better.  I truly believe I’m making progress with this, it just doesn’t happen fast enough.
Bettering myself takes time, undoing 30-something  years of whatever the heck did this to me just doesn’t happen because I decided I wanted to better myself.  I can easily “act” like I’m better, but I like to think of myself as being genuine; not phony. I have, many times, put a smile on my face to hide some sadness, worry, etc. but that doesn’t mean I’m pretending to be something I’m not it just means that I don’t want to burden others with worry or what might weighing heavy on my mind.
I can only continue to work to make progress to become the person I want to be for myself and my family; I will continue to pray that progress is made before people I care about grow tired and walk away from the me even I am trying to escape from.

I really liked this and thought I would share it:
