I try so hard each day.....to be aware,to take care of me,to be carefull not to control others with my reactions, to know that I am ok just the way I am and that I am working towards healing. But each day is so hard....and just with the people I love/am closest to. Sometimes I really think I would be better off solo....but I am in a family with kids,exhusband, new partners for us both, grandparents, etc. I have set boundaries...mostly in myself...but I continue to be so upset by these dealings. I feel so crushed by fear of abandonment, lack of trust, frustration of not being respected for who/where I am in life. Classic co-dependant....classic tired housewife. Classic pitty pot moment.

I should focus on the snowstorm and my happy kids and my bf working his program out at a meeting......but inside I am scared and tired and sad.....guess I should pay attention to that too....when I find myself thinking of what is going on outside of me and then feeling soothed by it, strange.

Another reminder moment to focus on me. So hard these days.

love fifi

((((((((((((Fifi)))))))))))))))))),

Sometimes just feeling the feelings helps so much.  Get them out, way to go posting.

Feel, deal and then heal.

Keep coming
Maria

Make sure you build time for something good for yourself, in that busy life.  You need something to draw strength and joy from, even if it is as simple as reading the funnies in the paper every morning....

my dear fi, just had to send ya a hug. Why can't I just send a private jet for you and who ever you want to bring, to come to eden?

I would take you hiking in the mountains where there are waterfalls. let my dogs splash mud all over you. get your rear up on onea my horses.

Get ya to help me build a fence or put up a wall and roof....

If you can get a project going. focus on that. anything, make candles, make earrings. I love that, too old though.

I know we don't feel like doing anything. I have found however when I get going, I don't stop. and I feel so much better for getting stuff done.

lol I finally got the guinea pigs hutch moved over here by me instead at the main house. sounds simple and dumb, but it makes me happy.


Well my pretty fi many hugs love,debilyn
