Self-fullfilling Prophecies

 With the last 2 men I've dated,  I said from the very beginning that it wouldn't last long. 

The first one, I said right away that he was too sensitive for a Pogue woman. Sure enough, I hurt his feelings over and over.

The second one, I said almost immediately that I was going to get my heart broken, and by golly if it didn't happen.

Now, what is the common denominator in these 2 failed attempts.  Hmmmm, let's think about this....  Oh! I know!  It's ME. 

Perhaps I'd better sit down and have a little talk with myself about self-fullfilling prophecies, before I go out on another date.  Hmm?

Repeating my daughter's words, over and over,....

"my mind, body, and spirit are strong, i am intriguing, i take each day to rejuvenate and recharge, i am independent, i am complex, i breathe in strength and release my fears, i am healthy, i choose to be unstoppable, i am genuine, i am bigger than my concerns andworries, i can do anything, the strength of others inspires me, i trust my intuition, i am a good mother, i am a good friend, and above all, i am a good person."
