I think I've probably moved further forward now then when I wrote this - in that I can see that I played a role in some of those not-so-great scenarios. Finding what was mine to own and what was the responsibility of the other party/s has made me even more aware of what I bring to the table these days - and definitely aids in my "digestion" :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-3763407101312286292020-08-04T11:26:55.013+08:002020-08-04T11:26:55.013+08:00Hi Leanne, this was a brave post.

I like your positive way of saying some of the terrible things that have happened to you without sounding whiney, yet being honest about your feelings.

That's what life is all about right?<br /><br />It seems that it takes me a bit to learn, I always trust everyone until they give me a reason not to. Or two or three. LOL I have to realize that when people do not give in return, or take advantage, it's a reflection on them and not me. I need to realize that I am enough and find Value in that.<br /><br />Thank you for drawing attention to this I think that it's something I definitely needed to be reminded of.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064084924219498676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-2281396211473884822016-03-24T03:02:15.498+08:002016-03-24T03:02:15.498+08:00So wonderful, Leanne and so many midlife women nee...So wonderful, Leanne and so many midlife women need to hear this.
