everyday i want to be happy. everyday i set out to have a good day and then it seems things start to windup..winddown..however you want to look at it and i can't get my bearings to re-start. it is this simple thing that has changed my world so greatly. i wouldn't dream of quitting, giving up or in, or letting things just go. in my effort to accept that i have no control i have essentially given up the idea of ever holding on, directing or being in charge. i think this is what disappoints my family the most. they are used to a leader, a go getter, and doer, a maker, i have become such the opposite that they are frightened and scared. well today here is what i did that might not sound like much but is...i went to a movie with my sister. i didn't care about i had to leave the 2 year old with the 12 year old, that tim wasn't home just yet, that i hadn't made dinner, anything of that nature. i just went and saw a movie stuffed my face with popcorn and candy and laughed. this doesn't mean i am not having those "thoughts", i want to do it with my husband and family...see a movie...etc., etc., but it is a start to beginning things on my own. i want to be strong again, dependable, the rock, the corner, a wife, a mother, a person. i am going to do this somehow. i will show my husband that i am the woman he loves and always willl, i will show my daughters that i am a mother and a good one. i will.
