It's time to take some of my own advice.  Things have been less than ideal here for quite some time and they need to change.  My health is taking a further hit and as I've learned in the past, I and I alone need to take control of the situation in order to turn it around.  What I allow is what will continue.

In order to change things here, I will need to:

     1) Remove toxic people and relationships from my life.

     2)  Set boundaries...and stick to them.

     3)  Take steps, no matter how small, toward the change I want.

     4)  Not let others make me feel guilty because I choose to take care of me.

     5)  Remember that a healthier me is able to help others while  an unhealthy
          me is less able to help others.  

     It truly is all about balance.  Keeping Balance....despite the chaos!

     I've been bending myself a lot lately.  Compromising myself in order to fit others' visions of who they think I should be.  It's as if they think by ignoring my illness, not asking about it etc., it will all just go away.

      WRONG!

     I am beyond tired of this and it's going to stop, effective today.

     Continuing to Keep Balance ... despite the Chaos!

    I know it's been awhile since I've posted but I've been going through some personal things that just needed my immediate attention to deal with.  I'm still here though and will have a post ready for tomorrow or the next day.

     Stay tuned!

      Still creating Balance.....despite the chaos! ... no matter what!
