Wow...I am so grateful for all the encouragement that you all have given me the last couple days.
Its hard when you want to pour out all the contents of your heart but don't want to make matters worse. So, you bury it deep and it festers. Just being able to share that little bit, helped heaps! And, I feel like I can carry on. Mark & I were talking about this situation, and I shared that one of my greatest fears is that people will wrongly judge me or think that I am something that I'm not because of it. And so fear crept its way in and I placed myself in a cage again. One thing that Mark said to me last night is that my true friends, the friends that really love me are the ones who will deal with my failings and believe the best about me in spite of it.
That was a huge weight lifted off me. Sometimes it takes others to put it in perspective.
Thank you again for your words! They were like a healing salve to me. :)
