Reclaiming my center...and good morning!!
If anyone has been following this blog for some time, you know that the past several months to a year have been a bit of a hell for me. While things have gotten much better, there has remained some instability and tension. What I'm coming to realize (and really, it's a bit of a "duh!" moment), is that the only thing I have control over is my own attitude. In addition, a big part of that attitude is towards myself...my worth...my beauty, my talents and my character (and, godammit...I'm still pretty hot for 53!). It's the 1st of the month, so I figure that's a good time to reset and get my footing. Hopefully this time it will stick!!
Here's the thing...I have huge expectations for myself...and consequently for life. But, as we all know, life will be just what it will be...people will be what people will be. To expect anything is risky business. Therefore...I'm going to cut myself some slack, release my grip...and maybe have a little fun while being a contributing member of society. Not everyone will like (or understand) me...in addition, I don't have to like (or understand) everyone either...we can still coexist peacefully.
Bottom line...I have much for which to be grateful. I have a few people who love me deeply, I have two marvelous offspring and I have a lot to offer in this crazy, mixed up creation in which I reside. My life will be what I make it and I intend to make it deep, satisfying and beautiful.
