Ah yes - I guess I bleed red just like everyone else. Isn't it funny how it seems as thought the LBS is the one that forgets they are human.

But you are saying so many of the right things. There are people who came on with me who still can't articulate the thoughts that you put forth here. Now that's sad.

IMP I have read many of your post. You have a nack for making the "truth" be shown. I think the truth of LETTING ourselves go forward is something that we (OK I) are afraid of. All the freakin' what if's...and all they do is hurt.

These were people I trusted and respected and their messages were all similar. Basically, be the best you can be. You will come out stronger and a better person no matter what happens.

Yes this is what I have been told - and I have even experienced already. As I have said there are GREAT things for ME that have come out of this. What you say?

I have learned (am learning) boundaries.
I don't have anxiety anymore (funny what happens when a manipulator leaves the house).
I have learned that my father doesn't walk on water -- and that is ok.
I have learned that being a wonderful wife doesn't mean letting go of what you truly believe in.
I have learned that serving doesn't mean salvery.
I have learned that to love my son means letting him go and grow and make stupid choices. That controlling his "way" doesn't help him but it hurts him.
I have learned that my daughter and son are WATCHING me like a hawk --- and I truly AM a walking talking testimony DESPITE the lies that the devil throws at me.(AND I AM NOT even going to post those because we all know what they are and I don't need to affirm that sob!!!)

But as long as you do have a forward direction, things will work out better than you can imagine at this point.

Ah yes the wonders of forward motion. I CANT WAIT (and that is part of the problem) TO LOOK BACKWARDS and see that I went forward - walked in and out of ugly ditches, dirty messes, overextreme mountains, through low valleys and steady on green beautiful grass and did get to the other side.

You have taken some big steps in your thinking.

thank you - and as you know it all starts in the freakin' mind!! (and we all think it is a heart issue! pshhhhst) Pam that is suppose to be the air thing!!
