I have some pretty serious boundaries. Once someone tries to cross them (when they have already been discussed).. Mr. Prickly Porcupine goes to Mr. Sock With Quarters as fast as a change in a phone booth.

That it's a waste of time to worry about 'Oh dear, what are other people going to think?" That really, you just have to be real to yourself and what you want and anyone else who doesn't like it can just jump off a pier.

(assuming you're not hurting yourself or anyone else).

TOIGTMIR....

what, who and which goals are more important to me....and that personal sacrifices aren't necessarily always a part of my "survival/crisis mode", that personal sacrifice(s) can be a good thing - that I shouldn't feel such a negative loss from letting go - and those sacrifices can make the important things even more important and cherished to me.

TOIGTMIR....

how important it is to live in a "proactive mode" instead of constantly in a "survival/crisis mode" or the physical or mental crash that comes after the crisis has been dealt with.

TOIGTMIR.....

how much strength I have within....and how good it feels to be comfortable with "coming into my own" after a very difficult journey.

the more i realize that patience is a necessity and a virtue. that MY timeline is not necessarily that of the Heavens.

the more i realize that there is only so much of oneself that can be given in self-sacrifice before being consumed by that quiet fire altogether. a time comes when i MUST think of myself first or else i cannot help anyone else.

the more i value the joys of solitude AND those of companionship. they must balance and complement each other in a relationship of whatever kind. both are necessary to my being.

the more i value the little happinesses: the savouring of a good cup of tea. the comfort of a loved ones arms. the journey of a fascinating book...

the more i enjoy the easy companionship this site. rare to find such varied people united by the Dance

thank you for this thread. i have appreciated reading the conclusions of others. they make me reflect upon what is important to me!
