Re: renewing my commitment to myself

[Guest guest]

Sometimes it can be hard to find an ideal balance in life between helping thy

neighbours, looking after one's own family and nurturing ourselves.

At least identifying there is a problem is a start.

Now you can be open to finding a balance and solution to your problem.

Best of luck

some rejection from a close friend. I took it as a relief because I had enough~

I am glad to say I did not take the problem personally because she had a heated

arguement the day before with her mother.

children/one a newborn. I was so busy helping her, I left my families needs and

my needs aside. I am not beating myself up over this, I am glad I recognize it.

the Fall when I will have no choice but to encounter this person on a regular

basis. We may have our children in the same class and our girls are on the same

soccer team. I am trying also to not drown myself in another friend or someone

elses needs. I plan to have my daughter help me make a to do list. I already

have two things on my list that I would like to accomplish, but I also want her

needs met too. She gave a lot to deal with this family too and she is also

feeling the loss or disconnection. I want to be ok when not surrounded by other

people because someone even thought I was around others I was still lonely.
