Becoming Selfish...

I never did like that word and I was taught to do for others.   But as my life, outlook and health are improving, I am finally trying to work my way toward that contentment and happiness so many others do grasp.  Yesterday he was told he should not be driving (at least for the next few weeks. I feel badly but am so tired of another crisis and the expectation of me to do what I can to make his life bareable and easier while at my expense.  That guilt did creep up a smidge, but then I thought about how great I have been feeling (Knowing that I DO have the power to change things... both physically and emotionally.)  As I continue, it is evident to me that after way too many years, it is OK for me to be a bit selfish.  


I was going to ask for opinions, but it occurs to me... I know what I want and need to do. I thank you all for all the support and standing by me to reach this point

Bob is right. You have to take care of yourself first before you take care of someone else.

Like to love another, you have to love yourself first.
