I think each time I tried to quit, it was for everyone or everything else but for me. Tho I had the right attitude and all of the rigth reasons, the 'Just Because It Is For Me' was nowhere in the cards. I am so use to doing stuff for everyone else, family, friends, neighbors but somehow I always seem to get lost in the shuffle. I always felt I was at the bottom of the totem pole.
This time, I made a vow for me. ME. ME. ME!! Even when I get angry and grumpy, I toss up my hands to my husband and tell him to do it himself. He is 44 and he can cook dinner, wash clothes, help w/ the kids/ homeowrk, etc. If I am going to kick butts, then I must muster all of the energy I have to kick the butts. And tho the support is here and waiting for me, this has to be my decision and my strength to do it alone. And w/ everyone here, rooting and cheering us on, that gives me a little bit more energy to fight the nicodemon that seems to plague all of us.
Life is a little bit easier when there is someone walking beside me, holding my hand, and guiding me.
