and like Forever said "Co-workers only worry about you when you appear to be floundering. If you're happy and content, they'll back off."
She's right! It's not so much that you feel or act a certain way, but if you always act fretful, sad and anxious.
If one of your kids consistently showed you that they were depressed over something for a long period of time, you'd probably be concerned for them and take them to task for not taking action, right?
So if you are determined to stay the course, that's great. You've made the best choice for YOU. No need to apologize or feel bad to the rest of the world, right?
One step further... since you're happy with YOUR choice, you ARE happy, right?
For the record, when you need to gripe, this is probably the best place for you to let your guard down. We understand. Been there, have the t-shirt and I have too many in my dresser.
Keep up the good fight, Linda!
