I'm getting there ... I know I am, but you're right, it takes time. I'm so impatient.

Your children are ADORABLE. Not that I'm a proud Dad or anything like that but please check on my angels on the alt. Although my 16 yr old is taller than me..they still and always will be my babies.

Thanks, I am pretty biased! You have a beautiful family ... man, I can't imagine but someday my baby boys will tower over me too! It's going by so quickly!

Yep one hell of a beast. It is a raging monster that we all must face. Oh...the need to control so that WE can feel better..the need to control so that WE do not get hurt. The need to control so that WE do not have to face our fears.

Control is so selfish. I never thought of it like that before all of this, but I guess I never really thought much about control period before now.
Quote:
The fight is won over time...slowly you give up this control as you begin to realize that control never really guarentee any us anything. When you let go...you allow yourself the opportunity to really examine the who, what, where, etc. It is at this point that all YOUR questions are answered.

Time. Again. Patience. I'm learning, but this is a hard one for me. Comes with giving up the illusion of control I guess.

You can never change WHO U really are. Never. You can learn to realize characteristic about yourself and how to deal with them. Hence, you can't kill the child...only comfort it - that confort come from with in YOU. It comes from the strength that is IN YOU. Ya just need to find it.

I'm relearning about who I am and the woman that is resurfacing is someone I like ... a lot more than I did. I'm learning to love myself and to love others unconditionally.

Personally, I say kick back on the beach (yes lucky you) have a drink relax and just feel who you are. The answers will come at a time when the war that rages begins to settle.

I love the beach here ... won't be warm until sometime in July (and the water never really gets 'warm') but the sound of the ocean is so relaxing. I love going this time of year before people overtake it and it's easy to find an uncrowded place to sit and wonder.

Hi shelbel! Thanks for checking on me smile Saw the pics on the alt ... that's awful. Glad everyone is ok though.

As far as doing ok - I think I am. Some days are better than others, as you know all too well!

Peace
PEI
