180º

I really needed that break, I really did. This period of reflection has been absolutely necessary for me to survive because mentally I've not been doing well. I've been called a Square Peg more than once in my life, and through this time of reflection I've realized that once again that is the problem. I am undergoing a personal restructuring of my priorities and life and will be coming back to this blog very shortly with a renewed permission to view and enjoy and experience things as I see fit, with no requirement to address things in such a way that it asks me to be critical of everything I do or what humanity does at all times. That attitude is just crippling for me. Nope, I have felt a turn, taken a sip from a goblet of hope that will maybe give me just the permission I need to enjoy this life as I have it. I am not an ambassador, a 24/7 caregiver, or a grunt piece to enable someone else's dream to come true. I was raised with the belief that I am entitled to live my own dream while remaining true to my personal responsibilities.

More to come and soon, I'm glad to say.

Hi Beth... just found your blog thru your Flickr account (thanks for "friending" me) and now I say OH, a woman after my own heart... a knitter, a designer and an artist... could she be kin? I so look forward to reading as you go forward with your self-pledge to view, enjoy and experience things in your own life....
