I recently realized that I was worrying way too much about keeping up with some friends lives that weren't reciprocating the contact. Once I let it go my life became much simpler.

Big congrats on that! <br /><br />You know, when you take care of yourself, you serve as a model for other people. Your own healing will help heal others. I think we forget that a lot. It's not like we can change our friends anyways. They have to want to change, as you know!<br /><br />I thought it was kinda funny that you were already thinking about your graduation would affect others. I always love graduations because it is celebrating your accomplishment. I'm sure you will feel the rush when you get there too!Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668069274859889749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181051446376235840.post-73040450947705157832009-08-03T11:34:49.271-07:002009-08-03T11:34:49.271-07:00I agree with everyone else - you should be very pr...I agree with everyone else - you should be very proud of yourself!

I don't think it is healthy for us to chase our friends around, begging them to tell us what they are feeling. (FYI--I've been guilty of doing the same thing very many times.)<br /><br />So proud of you--as I've told you before--about going to school. Doing something for yourself, especially when your whole life is about taking care of others can be very scary. You are a strong woman in so many ways.BecomingWholehttp://becomingwhole.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181051446376235840.post-77406174718862893112009-08-02T15:34:53.952-07:002009-08-02T15:34:53.952-07:00I wandered over from you comment and had to say co...I wandered over from you comment and had to say congrats on going back to school.

It is a scary thing. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. Even sitting here now, worrying about money, worrying about what I will do with my life, I am still 100% happy that I made that decision to finish a degree. It's just so important for personal fulfillment. <br /><br />As for Peaches, I think you are right to just let her come to you as she needs it. You can only offer so much before you have to step back and let people figure things out for themselves. And it sounds like she may need some time to sort out her aunt's death. You've lived one of the ultimate losses, and so you (sort-of) have practice with this whole processing thing. I'm not saying that her aunt is an equal loss to your mother, but just saying that you have a perspective that she may not have developed yet. Either way, you know that you care about her and that you want the best for her, and in the end, she will see that, regardless of how insistent you are about offering your comfort to her.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056463808792013011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181051446376235840.post-1574315213500941602009-07-31T06:00:56.329-07:002009-07-31T06:00:56.329-07:00with all the love and care you give to strangers o...with all the love and care you give to strangers on the internets, i just know you are going to be an amazing nurse!c by the seanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181051446376235840.post-46591454290818726742009-07-31T03:40:33.160-07:002009-07-31T03:40:33.160-07:00Did I happen to tell you just how incredibly proud...Did I happen to tell you just how incredibly proud I am of you for taking this step?
