Someone here posted this comment in their remarks and it just spoke to me... .
Where DOES my happiness come from? I had always thought it was from my family and my relationship (my husband), but I realized awhile back that this was pretty much building my house on a fault line.
My relationship could come unglued at any time... .and (God forbid) something could happen to my friends or family... .so then what would I do? Could I be happy without these things?
When things so south all around me, what do I hold on to?
So I realize that I really needed to be happy with ME. I have to know who I am... no MATTER what anyone else says.
When I get to the point that... .my husband , or whoever, can SAY what they want, be as angry as they are, rant and rave over whatever and KNOW that this DOES NOT change who I am at all, I can look at what they do or say and know there may BE snippets of truth in their words (and own those realizations to work on myself, IF I choose), but NOT take ownership of THEIR actions, when my circumstances don't decide my thoughts and actions... .then I will be able to be happy with ME, no matter where I am or who is with me.
Anyway... .just my thoughts today, still a work in progress.
