Still trying to paractice taking care of me, and learning more every day. One of the things I have learned is that often times, when you take care of yourself, the ones you love are not necessarily supportive of that all the time. I can understand this, but I can no longer sit by and just let things that bother me go unmentioned. I don't intend to offend, but know that in standing for myself, there are those who will be offended. This boundary setting is extremely difficult for some to understand, and some never will, but I have to move forward nonetheless. More on this another day, but just wanted to mention that the more I exercise my own personal truth, the more I see that this is not always met with a warm and fuzzy response.
Something I just found that I wanted to share ... "Live your life for yourself ... if you live for someone else, it's not your life but theirs, and they have the power to destroy it."
Spent too much of my life for everybody elses wants and feelings -- time to take a stand for my own. Those who truly love, honor and respect me will be happy for me, even if they don't always agree with me. Oh, and I won't always do everything perfect, so get over it, folks -- I am a learning, growing human being just like the rest of the world.
What's that phrase again? Oh, yeah, I remember ... "I am perfect just the way that I am, comma, but with room for improvement." Thank you God, that I don't have all the answers yet!
