There are moments when you realize that family and friends may not reach out as much
It can be disconcerting, hilariously sad, and somewhat shocking that you didn’t know better
But in accepting the way things were, we begin to see people for who they really are

Making piece with this means finding the security within yourself for self-care
It may mean splurging unnecessarily where others have faltered in generosity
Or perhaps soothing where some have inadvertently wounded
Wherever your post, however you cry, ultimately only God can cure these forks
May you find unity within your heart, smoothness in your soul, and wisdom through your eyes

You’re my pink pearl! Self-care is everything
Thank you for the reminder… 
working out really helps me too.. releases a lot of stress, and a natural high of achieving a goal 
We can all get so caught up in our lives that we forget to reach out to those who are important to us. Thanks for giving me a gentle (and cute-kitty-rich!) reminder of this.
Awwww.. HAHA.. Cute-kitty-rich. LOVE that term! Reaching out to all of you, wonderful hearts, gives me such comfort. Thank you sooo much for being such a rich heart.

“But in accepting the way things are we begin to see people for who they really are” that’s a theme with me lately. I’ve been trying to help my estranged mother comes to terms with the fact that not only is my sister bi-polar, but that she chooses to complicate her illness with her pathological dishonesty. I can see it breaking my mom to face the truth, and yet I can’t help but hope once she makes peace with it all she will see what I have done what I have done to preserve the life I live and to make it a better place for all my kids! Enjoyed your post immensely.
It’s so amazing to read incredible stories of heroines like yourself, who brave through life with authenticity and integrity. You are absolutely inspiring, and truly helped me to get over the guilt I have been experiencing towards someone with a similar diagnosis, and I haven’t been there for. The guilt has eaten away at my self-trust, and through kind sharing of stories like yours. it inspires me to forge ahead, imperfections and all.
Thank you for being such a huge part of your own life, because in doing so, you are a role model to us as well.

Wow! Thank you. That’s beyond kind. Don’t let guilt eat away at you. It only holds you back from living the life that was meant for you. Forge ahead, perfection is BORING!
Awwww.. thank you! Especially the advice to forge ahead. And I’m definitely far from boring, thanks to my far from perfection. HAHA… Thank you sooo much..

i know that personally i have learned that family is not as supportive as i thought they would be
My heart goes out to you, as my prayers to you daily as well. It’s so tough separating between what is our responsibility and what is theirs. Your writing serves as such an amazing emotional journey of how tough it can be to find this balance, the courage it takes to constantly re-establish these boundaries. May God always provide you with the path closest to Him, and one of success and happiness. Ameen.
Hugsssssssss… and loveeee!!

a lovely and peaceful post…I am confident on human goodness…self care is also care our fellows
Absolutey!
Finding the balance can be uneven at times, but you are absolutely right. My life is much richer for having others in it, while also enriching myself with self-care as well. A great compliment you have made in adding to my piggy bank of self-loving friendship. Thank youuuuu.. a yellow roses bouquet to you my friend! I have missed our exchange of wordly gifts

and family is a building task
Yes, very good point. Building. Task. Both are needed for stronger foundations which tear away with time and absence…
Pink.
stronger foundations is a step by step path building…you are lovely, realize this. Walter
Droplets of pink for your reminder of how lovely I can be. Life doesn’t always feel like this. Thank you for reminding me of my truths. Thank you ever so much.
