Holiday Frenzy
Wow. It’s been a while since my last post. The past few weeks have seen the Thanksgiving holiday and many other projects that have come to fruition. My writing has been more for school research papers and homework, and documentation for work. The upcoming solstice holidays have me running a bit more than usual, as well.
It’s been almost a month since Brian died. I think I’ve begun to process the reality that he’s gone. Its not like we were very close, but we shared a connection and we were recently able to open up to authentic communication and I’m sorry that his Path was ended so suddenly and in such a tragic manner. Addiction makes us hollow beings, it robs us of all the beauty in our lives.
Speaking of robbers, I also has a “run-in” with Mia’s dad, a couple of weeks ago where he unleashed a barrage of misinformed, ugly comments directed to what he previously used as weak spots. I have to admit, it was unsettling. Thank the Gods for my mindfulness training and the work that I’ve done to heal from ugly people like that. I informed him that any further communication concering Mia can be done via the home phone or in writing through the mail. I set up filters to delete his email and have taken his number out of my cell phone, so it won’t accept any incoming calls from him.
Seems like I’ve healed past the point of letting other people cut me down, or bring their corruption and lack of character to my life. Boundaries. Healthy boundaries are the way to go. I hope never to be exploited or abused again. By myself, or others.
More later…I hope.
