12-4


I am done with school, I am done with a few other important things I needed to get finished. That is a bit of stress taken off of me. My good friend moved away, we still talk quite a bit but I miss seeing her. It was 10 years ago today that my ex husband left. No I'm not dredging that up. It made me realize how much things have changed since. I've learned and grown in many wonderful ways. I have a different friend that is seperated from her husband, he's already got a girlfriend and it's just killing my friend. I've tried to tell her she has to love and respect herself, if she doesn't her husband won't. We teach people how to treat us. If someone keeps hurting us and we do nothing about it then they aren't just going to change their behavior. But if you set up boundaries and not allow certain things to happen then you protect yourself. I know what it's like to not have any self esteem and not understand what it means that someone doesn't respect you.
If I went through all that years ago so I would be able to help others, I suppose it was well worth it. It was a painful lesson though. I was talking to Randi (different friend) and was telling her I would never want to go back to my teen or childhood years. Noway, I like who I am right now. I think my life is more simple compared to then. It was quite empty and lonely. I have many good memories but I also have quite a few painful ones. I embrase them because they helped me be who I am now. I am very thankful that I didn't go down a different path in life.
Well I have to cut it short. I need to go to my acupuncture appointment.
Have a fabulous day and be blessed
