An Awakening
"I want my life back!" How many times have we muttered those words through the clenched teeth of frustration,and even more often through tears?
Now that I am through the worst of recovery I realize that is the LAST thing I want.I can certainly live without the pain,the constant bleeding,and the embarrassment of bloody clothing.UGH!
I have also come to realize that everyones day is not dependent on me.The house didn't fall down because the dishes.laundry a vacuuming weren't done everyday.Everyone managed to be dressed and fed and be where they have to be without me coordinating every movement of their day.This was not easy for me to let go of, seeing as I am more then a bit controlling and have a history of being absolutely anal about cleaning.LOL! I have relearned the pleasure of leisure and I am not going back! I don't want my life back. I just want to enjoy it!
