I forgive myself for having believed for so long that...
I was never good enough to have, get, be what I wanted.
Ceanne DeRohan

Having a failed marriage, trouble getting work, keeping up with house work, upset kids was all my fault. I believved. Lately I have to come to realize these things were actually not all my fault.. I was dumped with ton of problems and left by the man I loved not ever having paid a bill, worked on my yard, sad children at mid life. I have stopped blaming me and started accepting I am surviving hard times. Surviving the hard timess is giving me strength.

Live

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Eleanor Roosevelt

I have had my moments in life when I have shut down and hidden from life, love, the things that make me, me....... But I have come to see how foolish and futile it is. Hiding doesn't bring your husband back, keep your children small, find you job. Hiding simply an escape, and when you come out of hiding (which is difficult) The sadness, sorrow, loss, fear is still there. It's just that much harder to overcome. I try to face life, I do it by living one day at a time. jenni
