- Go to Happiness Rationed.
There are organizations that hold pets while a person in a shelter gets
life back together. It can be done, it takes a Xena courage and remembering of deserving all the better things. Ending self saboutage is most difficult, it was my path, eternally until I was 40 something. Grateful to have embraced myself and put myself, selfishly first for the first time, life is finally good.

Re: Happiness. I don't believe it is rationed. - Azur
I hear what you are saying, and I see it in my life, too. I think I just didn't realize until lately how much my past actually effects me (is it affect or effect, I always get those wrong). I thought I had decided to forget the past, move on, and do what I wanted in spite of reaction from others. I guess not. Now, the anchor. I'm not sure how to deal with it, but at least I know it's there ... it's time, I have realized, to figure out what I REALLY want and who I am. I guess there are many times when we re-evaluated and this is one. Nice to see you. :) Did you know Benzinha has a step-son by the name "Azur?" Cool

Re: sam444
I realize that rationally, in my head, but putting it to practice is another story. It effects me still, but I'm working on it. Thanks for the encouragement. :)

Happiness. I don't believe it is rationed.
I think we must let ourselves be. Acknowledge how something makes us feel in that moment, and let it pass.
Some of the most successful people i know did not have support but for one reason or another decided that they can be
what they want to be. I think the anchor remains for as long as we let it. All I know is that when I become too attached to something or
more particularly someone i must decide how long til I drop it these feelings of attachment. And just be me. Herein are no answers, just thoughts that your words sparked.
