I opened the door gently to January 2023 and found my brain kept wanting to think ahead. I can’t tell you how different – different in a good way - that feels.
Harriet, I really love this. The idea of feelings not being our state of being, but they come and go, has been something that helps me - I do try to hold onto that, but often forget when I'm overwhelmed. Thank you for that reminder. Having boundaries - ha! I could have written that myself - the discomfort even thinking about setting any. But I started to do it with people, then got to the stage that when they kept overstepping them, I cut them out of my life. It was so painful, but so freeing. And I did it for me, and the future Kay's peace of mind. *hugs* x
