Pat!! Thank you so very, very much. I heard every word. A lot of the time I am very hard on myself and my friends-even my hairstylist today, tell me I make a big deal about some small stuff- I am trying really hard to improve on this way of thinking. Off to kiss and love my puppy:-)
Thanks again so much,
Kristen
==================================================================================================> Kristen: You are not responsible for anyone but yourself!! Make that your mantra every hour! I know how you feel about family. Mine is very dysfunctional and I had to move to get away from that. I wanted to live in my childhood home and do my photography and have my animals and instead I'm back in town now (with all the animals...big stress, on death bed my mom asked me to take her 80 lb hyper, barking, loving, guarding idiot dog and he has never lived in town before..only on ranch...so he's stressed too!!but he has learned to sleep with cats and he used to kill them++):) but am away from all that GUILT>>>> What difference does it make if you are 32 and living back at home? You have to be somewhere and right now that is where you are...so suck it up and play with your puppy alot (reduces stress) and tune the brother out when it gets to be too much. Get alot of exercise. I find that when I think I can't go on....I can if I go for a walk or a bike ride....if this sounds simplistic, sometimes that works best. we can worry about this med and that therapy and so on and so forth and sometime's it's up to us to just put our head down and move forward....even an inch counts! xoxoxoxo pat
