For you, you have been eating well, thinking about getting out more, having more structure, and these are really brilliant ways of caring for yourself, aren't they? But I think you have a really vital, essential lesson to teach K, and that is the value of the good things - the important things - which are not dependent on finances. And I think you are right about being happier with less; I think there is no alternative in fact. Because while we are not want want wanting, we are live live living. <br /><br />It is draining, just exhausting being in company for that length of time whilst simultaneously juggling a thousand emotions, so you should be really proud of yourself for getting through it. It is so easy to forget how hard these things are, and hard to convey to those who just don't get it. <br /><br />Rest, Kristy. Rest Rest rest.<br /><br />x N<br /><br />(PS, you were NEVER going to be one of the ones I kicked off, and you know it. ;) )Nic https://www.blogger.com/profile/16155143861854659940noreply@blogger.com
