That when I lost the weight I'd find what I was looking for. That when I stopped taking my meds I'd find what I was looking for... Turns out I had found what I was looking for all a long. The strength to create who I wanted to be. The strength to create who I deserve to be. Red, I'm so very very proud of you. I know we say it too each other all the time but sometimes you need to read it too. I know it's felt like a long road of disappointments as you maneuver your way back to being where you think you need to be. But one thing you've never faltered on is pushing forward even when the world feels like it's pushing back. I love you like mad crazy. (all of me) All of you. xoxo T “Life isn’t about finding yourself, Life is about creating yourself”

I too want to fix things and make everything ok. But we do have to let people sort themselves out. When reading this it made me think most of my kids and trying more to just let them feel their feelings. Great post :) something I definitely needed to read.

A few years ago I realized that I had a penchant for trying to fix everything...to smooth it all over for others, to keep the peace. And then I realized, "it's not mine to fix." And a sense of peace and contentment rolled over me (and, I am sure, all those whom I was trying to fix LOL). And then, not only isn't it mine to fix, it (and they..and I) are not broken. It's about bearing witness, support, and being there... Such wisdom…
