"Perhaps strength doesn't reside in having never been broken but in the courage required to grow strong in the broken places.""

Journal Entry for November 7, 2009 Mood
Saturday, November 7, 2009

Another Saturday morning, it's quiet everyone is still sleeping here. 

 

The good thing it's bright out, the Sun is out it looks to be a bit windy but it's suppose to be warm.  I'm all for warm, lol - winter is just too long.

 

Trying to work out a few things - for some reason just feeling a little blue this am - not sure what that is all about maybe a little pms - hormones are wonderful, lol.

 

I guess part of it is just being here alone - with no plans, with nothing really to do - oh in reality there is lots to do - there is cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, cooking, laundry - you know all the great stuff that is left up to you to do.

 

I guess its times like this when I just miss having someone else here for me - to give me a hug to reassure that everything is going to beo kay - maybe someone just to tell me I'm good.    Why do we always seek validation from others - when the most important person to give us that is ourselves.

 

It's all so silly really - I guess as much as I want the kids to have a relationship with their Dad it sometimes hurts that they turn to him instead of me - he's playing the hero these days - doing things for them - coming up with the big bucks - I just want to scream!   


There's nothing in life that ever really gives you the feeling that its fair - I'm here day in day out dealing with all of life things that are thrown in my families way - I am the one that gets to deal with their breakups and sadness, their down times, but then again I'm here for the good moments too - those moments where out of the blue I get that Hug and just the wonderful words  - I love you mom! 

 

I just keep going someway, some how - battling myself mainly.  Why do I feel so inadquate at times, so unloveable - you know it's only me feeling that way - my kids love me - my family loves me, my friends love me - why do I not love myself?

 

Do you ever wonder why we feel the way we do about ourselves - I had a great upbringing, I certainly wasn't held back by parents - I was encouraged to be strong, to fulfill my dreams  I just don't know anymore.

 

There is something inside of me that just stops me from moving ahead - to getting where I need to be - I shouldn't need the validation that someone needs me that I'm doing a good job - for in my heart I know that I'm doing okay.  I see my kids daily and know that I've been there, that I'm a good mom and they certainly know that they are loved and that the world is theres - I've never told them otherwise.

 

Why can't I do the same for me??????????
