So lately, well… just this past week actually, I’ve been stuck in a rut. Maybe it just a sign that things have finally gone back to normal and now I need to get out more. Go places. Do different things. Try to find a way to get my old life back.

I know things will never go back to the way they were before, and in a way

right now you deserve a all about me! And I think your family will understand. You are conscientious of them and their feelings it is showing. Let them know how you are feeling and that you want them along for this fun exciting ride and let them know you won't be hurt if they can't jump in for it all the time.

Basically leave it open for them to join you or step back if they need or want to. Even be certain to have somethings planned to be a family event, to make sure they aren't feeling left out. *hugs*

-hugs you!- thank you for all your support and wise words.

I find it hard to feel guilty when it comes to my family and my selfishness. I know it's after everything I went through, no one is going to be saying anything if I want to do things that I wasn't able to do before.

But still... But I will do what yous say and give them the option to join me or step back.

And also work on finding a happy medium. <3

You obviously love your family very much and whatever you do will invariably involve them to some degree :)

That is true... I shouldn't worry so much about it. My family will always be there for me no matter what :D

After what you have been through, I think you should not be afraid to do more things for yourself. You had a brush with mortality, and that is a big wake up call for anyone! Those who are brave, and true to themselves, will always make time for themselves outside their family lives. This is something I learned, and though my own family may not understand, I know I must be myself and have some time to myself to do what I want...otherwise, who am I? I am just a mother, a worker, a daughter....living for others, but not for myself. I will lose my identity as a separate individual, and feel no value outside my roles in life. And that is not healthy...

So, be a little selfish! Embrace life! You have earned it! You deserve it!
