embracing change

[flowmom]

Flomom,
I think you stated you are a biologist, right? Do you do scientific research? Because I love the way you examine and look at things. To me, like a scientist.

I am a biologist and did research for my MSc. Now I do impact assessement type work, not research. Thanks for the compliment. It's a blessing and a curse. I like to analyze situations, but ultimately it's a control issue -- trying to control things by understanding them. I often end up in analysis paralysis.

Thanks for sharing what reconciliation looked like for you. I really admire that you kept your focus on yourself. It reminds me of the picnic story. There's a lot of dignity in living your life to the fullest rather than desperately attempting to change someone who feels done.

I have an appt tomorrow with the new IC (miracle worker psychologist recommended by L). I want to work on the blocks that I have to moving forward with my life. I'm excited that she is a child specialist and has worked with children who have autism because I'm hoping she can give me some insight on that side of things.
