Grateful
I am so grateful for all of the folks I have met in and out of the rooms. Treasuring life with all it's ups and downs. Ever reminding myself that "Life is not a destination but a journey"
I am done trying to understand....I surrender and pray that God has a great plan for me. I want to be around a long time in order to help and care for other people....especially those who are struggling with addiction or mental illness.
I am truly at peace with myself today. I am not going to listen to the people who say why are you on disablilty...you seem fine to me.....why do you have to take medicine....that is a crutch,.....why don't u do this or have that...why aren't u skinny? and on and on it goes....... well....I have let them make me feel bad long enough....time to let go of people who find it in my best interest to judge me.
All of their judging makes me feel abused. I do a good enough job abusing myself and refuse to let anyone ever make me feel that way again. May require walking away from lifelong friendships from people I will always miss.
If only we could trade places for a week....I bet they would want their life back and so would I.

Good for you! Toxins are all around. People with their judgement, looking down on it finding fault, etc. We have a strength inside that overpowers all that. We can pray for them, while not letting their illness affect us.
...The wisdom to know the difference.
Being at peace is what I strive for...someday girl...I\'m very happy you are...o0o0o
Thanks for the encouraging words....it breaks my heart that I have to distance myself from a childhood friend of 40 yrs. She never used to judge people ....but she judges me now......Makes me feel like crap and I don\'t deserve it. Prayers for this difficult decision are needed.
