This vacation time for me is a time to reflect on things in my life.
Through praying I am trying to forgive myself. Yep, it's not only my A that I need to forgive. I have to forgive myself for some of the ways I have reacted towards my A and others in my life. To have peace in my heart and home I can't be bitter and resentful. I pray that I get to a happy place emotionally and learn to live by faith and not by fear.
It's only 3 days into my 5 days off and I have realized that I do like working. I thought I had had enough of it and was ready to quit. I have learned that I need to have more me time when I am working. I need to take a full hour lunch and go walk or do something for myself other than run straight home from work.
By focusing on me and letting my A focus on his recovery, we will get to a happy place in life. What we've done in the past hasn't worked. Change must be a priority in order to have a happy life.
