But being where I am is OK, today, tomorrow's another day (also OK to say/think, as long as it's at the END of the day!) One of the toughest people to forgive is always yourself. But you just have to bear in mind, that, not in a BAD way, fixing YOU, is selfish business, you get to UN-learn all that stuff you THOUGHT was so self-LESS, begin to see that it wasn't, and isn't.This comment, for instance, is as much for ME as it is for YOU, I have to go back to introspection, to recall ALL those lessons I learned, and managed to push to the back of my mind along with the guilt, of doing what I KNOW to be the WRONG thing for me.It wasn't always that way, it took nearly 30 years to build my wall of denial, smashing through it, brick by brick, isn't going to happen overnight. And "I'VE" go to understand, there'll be setbacks along the way, but I remember too, all of the work I DID, though I'm IN a setback, didn't go away, it's just a matter of shaking out the cobwebs, remembering WHICH state of mind will get me where I want to be. Somewhere along the way, my goals blurred, for a lot of reasons, those aren't important either. Just those goals, and dreams, realistically, what can I accomplish in x amt of time, brainstorming's ok too, as long as you realize that 80 - 90% of it's the unrealistic stuff, so I don't put my expectations there, as I'm more likely to set myself up to fail. Hope I made sense, Dave Well, you’re doing great Jenny, a lot better than me (presently).
