A new day
I decided that today would be better and only I can make it so.
I have done a few things around the house which I may 'pay' for tomorrow but I feel happier today so thats my focus.
I have decided to be brutally honest with my kids , they are old enough to understand and tell them I need help .
I feel heaps better just having made the decision. I am writing up a schedule of jobs around the house so we can't live decently and hopefully without frustration and conflict as we seem to be lately.
I know I have to let my standards slip and I know its me that needs to deal with that.
I have music on today and was even singing along - wow the power of perspective and positive thinking .
Lets keep this up :)

You have a great attitude and good plans. I was such a go-getter and had very high standards for myself. Letting go of those high standards is tough, but the fact that you recognize the need to let those standards slip is great. I always told myself, \"Before I was sick, I gave 200%, so if I cut that in half, I am still giving 100%.\"
Way to go!! I\'ve had to lower my expectations a lot over the years in order to survive. So glad you have revealed more to your family and have shared out the chores.A positive and necessary move for sure.Wishing you the best.Forgive me for not seeing your journal earlier.Please feel free to let me know anytime you have written a journal. Hugs and healing.xo
