If solitude brings solace, then it is yours to claim.
Now! You K.N.O.W. where I'm gonna go with this public statement! [Queue crazy maniac laughter trac!]
One of the more difficult tasks I face with myself is cutting myself some slack. Ironically I'm ready willing and able to lather-up grace for everyone else - but myself. Why? I'm mindful of the fine line between grace and enabling. Between compassion and manipulation. When I sense I'm walking that fine line - with myself - I seek assistance.
Christina - once again - your transparency - brilliant! The light you shine on grief lights a path to learn and grow ;). Bowing in gratitude ;)
