This One's Gonna Bruise (9)

[Sugar and Spice]

We all owe ourselves dignity and self-respect. Joan Didion had this to say about self respect: "To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent." I don't agree with large swaths of her essay, but this gave me pause. It's time for me to learn indifference.

Lodo I too am in awe of your ability to remain a true friend to your W after everything. I am trying to do the same with my H, but I've come to a place where I need to be my friend first. The self respect quote really hit home today and I just wanted to say thanks for posting it. I am reaching a place where I need to reclaim this part of me.

Thanks and keep up your amazing work.
