I find it interesting to read your comment now (again) as I repost this on Facebook today, Karla, knowing what has transpired in your life … Like an affirmation, don’t you think?

Now I do have a wee confession to make Miz B! It’s taken me over 14 yrs with Greg (truthfully my whole life up until last year-45 yrs!) to realize this. I was like you were then! Seriously!
It wasn’t until during this past year that I was SO frustrated w/my relationship with Greg (his drinking) that I was literally trying to kick him out the door many times & threatening to leave myself over this frustration in how our relationship was going. It was over those long months that I realized who I am & just what I AM capable of! I AM glad we ARE working things out & are together… but…I also know I CAN live life by myself & take care of my girls if I needed to.

I love this, Karla. “IF people would realize that feeling ‘whole’ in themselves gives them ‘confidence’ which in turn actually attracts people to them.” It’s an inside job for sure!

Awesome, Karen. It sounds like you found a great way to NOT lose yourself AND support your wholeness. Spring is right around the corner! Thanks for sharing and come back to tell us about your trip

OOOOOOH!! I LOVE that line “The pain is filtered, like sunlight through smoked glass – not quite so intense.” Boy! Does THAT say A LOT or what?!!
What is kinda funny is that IF people would realize that feeling ‘whole’ in themselves gives them ‘confidence’ which in turn actually attracts people to them. This is something I’m still learning lol! But KNOWING that I AM a whole person even IF I were w/o Greg…is a Wonderful feeling!! It’s so exciting to see you going thru this journey of realization!!

Camping. How I love it. In late October of last year I went camping. An entire week away from hubby and home. I found a peaceful site on the shore of Lake Hartwell and let the water wash away all the negativity and hurt I had kept inside for years. It was only a week but I came back totally renewed and refreshed. I’m already making plans for my Spring trip!
