Respect

Well as you can see I decided to take Sunday off and Breathe!! Even though it has been eight years I still get myself in a place where I just need to take a day and think of nothing at all but me!! That is very hard for me to do as I was always putting everything and everyone before myself.... Boy, first mistake in my life. My children, all adults now, have told me that a happy me is a happy them! I was in a marriage with a person who was very controlling, not in a way that was negative, so of course I was happy to give someone the power to lead me and my life. Now mind you, not his fault, Mine, I should never have allowed myself to be or feel the way I did, AND maybe he would have respected me more. You have to respect you and who you are, to be respected. It is now, at times, funny for me (see, there is hope) to think back out how pathetic I was to not have enough belief in myself to loose myself. Not any more, I found me and I finally like me and who I have become!!!!! Going through all this was and at times, still is painful, but has made me a much better me in the end!!!
Go out today and do something for yourself, and start it off with a very Deep Breathe and a smile:-)
