The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Today is a day to practice easy does it! I spent my entire weekend stressing. Now I want to start anew. I can't count totally depend on counseling to make my decisions but I can try to figure it out on my own. I will stand back & do the footwork when I can. I am hoping today I can share things other than what I experienced before & focus on the here & now.
Again easy does it! I have to take my time too on sharing my story. It can be very taxing & hard on the soul. I guess if I am totally honest I will come up w/ exactly what I am supposed to say.
I plan on sending the not-so finished version of the story. I guess I might want someone else's opinion on how I should take it to the next level. I know that if I seek God out it will help as well. Prayer & meditation kind of helps me in the process.
I hope this all is what I really want to say in this post. Simply said, I always need validation. I am still a work in progress. Maybe I am too hard on myself.
(((Kathleen))) - you are loved in return! Be gentle with yourself - I've heard this and practiced this for a while, yet still at times forget! Thank you for your share - it reminds me that no matter where I've been or where I'm going, it's the journey I am to enjoy! Love and light!
