This whole year has been so much about peeling away the many layers of 'non-me': the pleaser, the perfect daughter, the peace maker, the responsible-for-your-parents-happiness-child (a tough one), the successful one(whatever that is) and I still have A Long Way to go....and I'll probably keep falling into old habits which are basically self-destructive, but and it's a big but, I am once again starting therapy, after an of itself therapeutic visit to my GP this morning and he's a really good listener, he's my age and he called me 'sweetie' which was just what I needed; 'sweetie', he said 'you have got to start taking care of yourself and distancing yourself emotionally from your parents; you need to live your life, not theirs'<br />so onwards and upwards<br /><br />Saskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974723368542754165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-91018317422104517662019-07-12T14:25:04.016+02:002019-07-12T14:25:04.016+02:00i feel the magic that has taken hold. glad to fee...i feel the magic that has taken hold. glad to feel your energy returning.judenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-39441289925436926962019-07-12T05:59:30.773+02:002019-07-12T05:59:30.773+02:00I'm here with nothing eloquent to offer. So, ...I'm here with nothing eloquent to offer. So, for whatever it is worth...your necklaces are beautiful and much larger that I imagined without seeing them worn - by beautiful you. I wouldn't be caught dead in a bikini at this point, plus they are too uncomfortable for me. I too hope you have more time for the parts of you that need it. And I am grateful you are surrounded by those you love, in the many ways you can be surrounded. May life treat you well and as said in Where the Wild Things Are..."We'll eat you up we love you so".

It is how I see you. You don't shy away from the many ups and downs of life. How we see ourselves as women during this time of change, this aging that we all face, the aging of our parents, for those of us who have parents still living, all of this takes us on a journey that teaches us who we are. It is not easy, it is confusing, causes us at times to doubt ourselves and what we think we know but we get through it and we do so by doing the best we can, facing what presents and trying to do so with no regrets.
