#blogtober20 the one i love

So most people are writing about a partner but i want to write about why i love myself. I am caring, kind, a team player, loving, smart enough, and beautiful. It’s hard to feel those things most days but recently I’ve had a succession of decent days so it’s easy to love myself. I need

Toxic

Today is a bonus day off work. I’ve managed to accomplish some housework. Now I’m sitting here trying to remember who i use to be. The good and the bad. I think of my marriage and the damage i did to my children staying so long. He once told me he never really loved me

Dirty dancing

I just watched dirty dancing for the millionth time. It is in my top five movies. It makes me wonder if in real life baby and johnny are still together. Lol Seriously though… i think movies have made realistic romance not good enough. Does anyone else feel that way? Has it set me up for

Love Today i love myself. I love the curves of my body, the color of my eyes, and my height. I love my family flaws and all. I love this community. It has helped me immensely. What do you love today?

Thanksgiving and bullshit

First i have plenty to be thankful for… my children… family… a career… a roof over my head. Today i am not forgetting those things. But on my mind is how do you drudge through the bullshit? The mental illness… knowing if someone is real and not full of shit. My thoughts are altered often
