Thanks Cat for your post. As always it brought me comfort. I reread my last post and I think I was having myself a pity party!! Everyone needs one once in awhile. I think my Husband’s death made me open my eyes and realize that life is too short, live it to the fullest. I think it has made me be more honest with myself and I am tired of superficial relationships with family members. I think that I am grieving not having a real relationship with my Mother and Sister. But it is what it is and I will be alright with it. I won’t accept them crossing my boundaries or will I tolerate them taking their own shortcomings out on me. I am learning to give myself some credit as I was thinking today that I have came a long way since my Husband’s death. I lived a certain way for 29 years and then I was forced to find a new way to live. I struggle some days but for the most part I am doing okay. I want to be a healthy person both physically and mentally and I am doing steps to achieve that goal. I am not sure where my life path is going to take me but I am up for meeting new people and learning new things. I want to be the best that I can. I think that is all that I can ask of myself.
