I was so busy, with my career, travelling, and being sexually deviant...(heh heh)..that I didn't think...at all!!! I used to feel so lonely...so alone...but my friends would look at me and say "You did it right, you had the right idea"...now, they are divorced...some twice, some three and four times...and I think maybe...I did the hard stuff..the alone stuff..when I was young...now, I have a baby, don't have a job.., but have a loving husband...don't have my "Practice" that I wanted...and I do feel less than a person, because I am not "contributing" by being in the workforce...and that was a big issue for so long...but I am learning to accept that...
My dreams, my hopes...changed so much over the years...that what I have now...was nothing, like what expected...child included...
Sweetie, we are great moms...we are older moms, we have war wounds...we have stretch marks...we have lived...so dont' you discount your life for anything...
I love you sweetie, so much..Hugs
Rhonda
