Life

I don't know how to get this out but i am going to try. I want to live my life now. I don't want to sound self-centered but I want a life. I have given so much of myself to my family for so long that I don't know where to start looking. I want to help people live life. I want to help people see the goodness in life. Reading what i just wrote it sounds like i am still not doing any thing for myself but I see it differently. I want to become a part of some thing again. I want to see the trees in the forest. I want to smell the flowers. Where do i start?

Try writing down things you have an interest in and then doing an on-line search to see what\'s running locally. Your local church is also a good place to start at. Even if you\'re not religiously-minded I imagine they\'d know what\'s going on and could point you in the right direction.

Hey friend,
thanks for your hug and kind words. Wanting a life for yourself is in no way self centered. You have asked the quintessential question of all time, where to start? And the answer is \"within\". There are so many good books out there with guidance toward finding one\'s purpose. I think it starts with a thought, having focus and clarity about what you really do want to create. Most of us, myself included do not write goals, or think about exactly what we want to be or do in 6 months or 1 years time. Without some concrete direction to go, we seem to linger on unhappy and unsatisfied, and unfortunate victims of circumstance, like blowin in the wind. It is a personal choice, our pain, our addictions, our losses, all play a factor. You have taken the first huge step,
WANTING change and know this, you deserve a fullfilling happy life. Start by changing one small do-able thing every day, you have already dealt with the worst of demons, now start playing with the angels! love ya, Rebecca
Oh, ps in honor of my son, my daughter and I are getting matching wolf tattos when I go to Florida in June. My first and only, and I can\'t wait!
