One of my major goals during this self imposed solitude is to learn more about myself, what I want and what I need. This, of course, requires a lot of reading...at least in my case.I'm loving a book my neighbor Sandy lent me called "Too Good For her Own Good". I ordered my own copy so I can yellow highlight and bend pages at will.
This is one of the gems I discovered in this book and I have it printed out and on my fridge to keep me focused.
The
Code of Balance
BE COMFORTABLE:
A woman in balance values feeling good more than looking good
BE DIRECT: A woman in balance is honest about how she
feels
BE RESPONSIVE: A
woman in balance empathizes with others
BE
NUTURING: A woman in balance empowers
herself and others
BE FIRM: A woman in balance sets limits
Taken from “Too
Good for Her Own Good” by Claudia Bepko & Jo-Ann Krestan

These are pretty good rules to go by. Good to see you back here. I've missed your wonderful sense of humor. You have a great day my friend, hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteThank you for recommending this book. It's an yee opener for sure. I could have saved myself a lot of money and frustration over the years if I hadn't fallen into the trap of feeling my house had to look a certain way or it reflected poorly on my worth as a person.
ReplyDeleteI am now at the 'Relationship Rules'.. Wow, what an eye opener. I knew I kept givng up partsnof me but never understood how it was happening or why. With retirement I'd started trying to change the rules but it's not easy. I can't financially seperate householdslike you did but I am finding ways to get the time for self exploration. Thank you again for sharing your journey.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping you are alright. Haven't heard from you much lately. Hope everything's okay. Have a super day my friend, hugs, Edna B.
