So here I sit. It been a long time since I have had the mental fortitude to even contemplate writing an enty here, for which there are many reasons, all personal. Mainly, it is my family situation, and all the drama that it inevitably seems to keep me knee-deep in. It’s damn tiring to say the least.
In the 6 months since my beloved moved out, I have been rediscovering myself. I had no idea I had let things get so wonky in my ways of thinking, about myself and the world in general. Talk about skewed perceptions. Sheesh! I have done some therapy, some reading, some soul-searching, and I have found that I am stronger than I belived myself to be; I am a better mother than I was led to believe; I am a better teacher than I thought I was. I have also found that I am a person who dearly values a peaceful home and a peaceful mind, and most importantly, a peaceful heart. I am working on creating those things for myself and my children by doing what I believe is right for the 4 of us. Others do not agree with my choices. But as my momma says, only you know what is right for you in your life.
I had forgotten that. I had been letting other’s actions and poor decisions alter my life, and create drama that I do not want, and will do my damnedest to avoid for myself and my kids. Codependent no more is not just a helpful book. It is my new motto.
Now that I have made some choices, I am sitting here waiting for them to pan out, I guess you could say. I don’t know what the future holds for me, although I know it is as scary as hell. And all of it is financially related. The rest I feel I can handle, money is still a problem though.
Oh well. I will meet that when it comes as well. It is all I can do, right?
