I think about your words all the time. They help me get through the fog to see things more clearly.
Goals:
1.) focus on myself, work, my nucleus (mother & father) 2.) be intentionally present 3.) strengthen boundaries 4.) be an A magnet . . .
Current Progress:
1.) less worry & less obsessing 2.) enjoying focusing on work and friends at work 3.) enjoying time with parents 4.) made cookies with Mom when family visits for Mom's 83rd. 5.) can concentrate a little better 6.) talk with M only once a week. (she looks for me)
Results:
1.) feel good about myself 2.) feel good about my job 3.) have fun with friends at work 4.) enjoy company with Mom 5.) don't concentrate on anything negative 6.) thinking about my interests more, want to 'do it' 7.) praying more, feeling more grateful 8) looking into new style for new wardrobe. 9.) down time, still get sad about the silence
I feel if I give M an inch she will take a mile. I'm sure it will all be how I present it to her and how I react when she out 'A's me. It gets to me, and it will send me spiraling down. Don't want to risk it right now. I want to handle this in a new way.
