[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663815, member: 18958"] How funny Feeling. Me too. I never even got a husband. Well, with respect to a self, we have to start somewhere, don't we? If you have time, why not check out the thread that Nerf started on the Precepts. So far there is an introduction thread and No. 1. I think we are in the same boat, Feeling. In several ways. In the era we came from the idea of having any care for oneself, was foreign, among middle class type people. Our upbringings were hard. Our ambition was largely centered on others and on external achievements. And then there was family. In my case there is no excuse. I willfully turned away from myself. I never considered me. I will now. Nerf and Recovering bring up something interesting and true. That having everything falling apart around one is an opportunity. That feeling as if the old self you were no longer exists...leaves the potential for wonderfulness, creating something new. We just have to figure out how to do it and with what. The possibilities are endless. Except I do not yet really know one. Our sons are still very much with us. Please take care to post about this. Maybe start a new thread. About what it is feeling like for you. Feeling, I for one relate. I believe many of us do. Do not sit alone with it. Please. That is no good. You will be gearing up to go back to school, soon. Maybe you want to post a mission statement. A way to put out what your fears are and how you will conquer them. Or the other way around. What you want to conquer, and what the barriers might be. Most everybody has been in a place similar to yours. If they have not yet, they will be. We all gain by sharing. That is my belief. Those of you who are up late...I am wondering why. It is still the middle of the night in some places, and it is getting quite late where I am. So I will sign off. COPA [/QUOTE]
