Thank You

We went out doing domestic stuff this afternoon. The sun shone and I felt better, remembered to pop my pills so nothing hurt that much.

But I had a nagging feeling in my gut telling I should not have posted my last post(meritocracy). I tend to keep those fthougths to myself! It is really quite easy to write too much on a blog and feel exposed.

Anyhow, I got home and was pleasantly surprised, actually releived and moved by the kind comments you have left.

So thank you. I really appreciate the thought and effort you put in.

Just wanted to share with you that my older daughter is also bi-polar. Right now she is doing very well, but I know that can change rapidly.

Also wanted to say that I am happy that today is a better day for you.

Colin,
I have to comment about your feelings of not having posted your post. I also get a feeling after sharing about the childhood abuse that I suffered. A feeling almost of guilt and shame at having revealed so much about myself and worrying that someone will think less of me because of it.
I have gotten better about this and feel that while I sometimes think I wasn't the best mother, I tried to be different than my mother. Now as a grandmother, I try to do things in an even better way than I did as a mother - especially since I care for the grandkids over 40 hours a week & that's just on the weekends, doesn't count the time I take them to their karate classes during the week.
I agree with someone else who said that if we help 1 person (to paraphrase), then we have made the world a better place and have contributed.
I am a shy person who doesn't consider myself a people person, but am told constantly by some that I am, that I truly care for people and it shows, but I can't do in except in small gatherings. You inspire others by moving forward and doing your best considering your restrictions - that isn't nothing! I hope 1 day to have real time for knitting, but I doubt I will ever be as good as you are, but I can try and you are an inspiration towards that goal.
So please don't feel you are worthless or not contributing - you are! Although I do know personally how easy it is to feel otherwise.
