So I thought maybe I would share a bit. The phone call was a friend putting a heavy guilt trip on me and being the person I am it instantly made me mad, but at the same time I was telling her I was sorry. hmm anyway the more I thought about it the more I realized that lately (before Thanksgiving) I have turned into a huge witch. Think the broom should be about wore out already and the holiday season has just started!! Not such a bad thing because maybe without my broom I can return to a calmer, nicer state of being. Rambling here, but hang in there, it will be over soon... I realized after meeting with these friends that I truly do need community. But the more important part of the whole thing in my mind was that it didn't take as much to bring me back to a 'nicer' state of being as it would have in years past. I have never liked the Holiday season, but after my daughter died I HATED it and it has taken a long time for things to get to a calmer place during this time of year. Wow, progress can be made even if it isn't on my time schedule. You are a wise and strong person Beth, with a wonderful site here.
