To do otherwise is <a href="http://theattitudeofgratitudeinn.blogspot.com/2011/10/freedom-from-tyranny-of-other-peoples.html" rel="nofollow">codependency</a> <br />. I am the only person on earth who can make my welfare my number one priority. If I don't, no one else will. <br /><br />I'm not asking you to agree, but I find <a href="http://theattitudeofgratitudeinn.blogspot.com/2011/03/im-still-dead-in-water.html" rel="nofollow">giving my burdens to God</a> <br /> works better than giving them to a tree. The One I know is loving, patient, kind and gracious, not to mention a Higher Power that has a sense of humor and is incredibly supportive. <br /><br />Hope to see you over at my place soon. And, I still invite you to a Skype chat. Let me know when you want to do that. :-> It's been too long since we have. <br /><br />We do not get our healing in isolation or by staying within our head. Nope, that doesn't work. It is through relationships, healthy ones, that we find the emotional constancy we need.
