WHEW!

The office move is officially completed. My duaghter is now officially 9. I am officially tired of the drama associated with familial relations and am officially just plain TIRED!

I was told recently to repeat to myself over and over again.....boundaries are a good thing, boundaries are a good thing...... I've said it so much in the past two days, I think I finally get it!

Boundaries ARE a good thing. They keep us in check and help us keep others around us in check. They keep us safe and feeling good about ourselves and any situation we may find ourselves stuck, placed or otherwise rooted.

While I help prepare my daughter for 4th grade, I'll help myself by building some boundaries and strenghthening them up as strong as I can. Does anyone know, can avoidance be a personal policy??

In the meantime, I'll also repeat to myself.....I'm a tree. I can bend. (Roz speaks!)
