Doing what got me this far.

I got a text from Bridge, she's doing good.


I was reading your post about excitement. I wanted to add my late night thoughts.

I was at a Dr's office the other day, looking at a Travel magazine. Seeing all these people out hiking, kayaking, fishing, and sightseeing, made me realize how much I want to do all that.

I realize now that I gave up so much of me for the "family". Nobody asked me to. I just thought that's what a good mom does. We were always busy & doing things. I just forgot to make time for the things that I wanted to do also. I used to think it was selfish to do those things just for me. Now, looking back, giving up that much, turned into resentment for the people that I love the most. Yet..... they never asked me to give those things up.

I didn't do anybody any favors by giving up that much of me. Now that I'm finding me & more importantly, taking good care of my needs too, my kids have a happier mom.
