O N L Y

I am going to stop using the word O N L Y.

Only is a silly word used in disparaging, minimizing ways....

But I only had one.

If only you loved me.

If only I was prettier.

Only one person noticed me.

If only I had not eaten/said that.

You only get one.

Only a face a mother could love.

I only did it once.

I am not great at setting goals. I am great at wanting to... so I will try again. My new goal is to avoid the onlys in my life.

So now I will go - read good things, think good thoughts, eat good food & throw away the onlys.....
