[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 757045, member: 24921"] I appreciate the kind words in response to my post. It isn't easy being me. I am a peacemaker as many of you are and I don't consider this a flaw. The flaw comes from those that don't accept our kindness, love and caring for people that comes naturally. The flaws come when people take advantage of who we are. The flaw comes when I let abuse, disrespect and manipulation swallow me up and make me afraid to be who I am. I cannot let anyone take away who I enjoy being. Yes, I have to be mindful of those who take advantage but I refuse to change who God made me. What I am doing is learning when I can make a difference in someone that appreciates the help and when I need to walk away from those who need to learn to help themselves. This is what everyone here has helped me with. All you peacemakers helping someone that appreciates the help and learning to apply that to helping myself. Some may not consider themselves being a peacemaker but you have all given me peace and love. I appreciate you all.... Peace and Love [/QUOTE]
