Quite rainy days, chit-chats and finding ones innerself...

Everyone needs a nice quite day every now and then. I love nothing more then staying home...especially when it's raining. Hubby was off today so I actually slept in quite late...upon waking I was approached by a very chipper son who was thrilled to be feeling better and ready to join the family. My youngest is still hacking, sniffing and added sneezing to the list, poor girlie...she sounds miserable. Warm showers and vaporizers seem to be the best medicine for soothing the cough...NOT VVR on your feet (giggle).

Hubby and I got some much needed Christmas wrapping accomplished, yay!

We also were able to chit-chat about my latest "I've been thinking..." subject of the week...". Usually when I think it's not a good thing...it usually cost me tears, stress and hubby grief. But this time is different, we had a good talk...and came up with some goals to begin to fulfill some long overdo and very much needed life changes. Change can be hard, especially for people like myself...but I also know change can not only be good, but needed.

As we talked I realized that the last few years of my life have been spent worrying about and fulfilling the desires of others...leaving for myself only a morsel of crumbs. It shows in the way I dress, act, my home, the the way I furnish my home, my car..."I" always come last. I realized that in trying to please everyone...somewhere along the way I've seemed to have forgotten how to please myself. I've lost who "I" am...I've lost "me"...who the heck am "I"...where am "I"? I didn't know "I" was missing...is it possible to find "me" again?

I say yes...there is hope, after all half the battle to recovery is realizing and admitting there's a problem, so...get ready for a new "Season"...as "I" turn the page and begin a new chapter in the big book I like to call LIFE...
