Thank you to anyone who visited while I took a short break. I am thankful always for the small things in my life. I have my health, strength, and breath in my body to get up and keep going. I will remain grateful for the small things. I am happy to have a roof over my head and be able to be an example to one person and show them the way to having better mental health.

As a human being navigating life its always important to take care of yourself. Its okay to focus on your well-being and not run to anyone’s aid but your own. At some point we have to ask ourselves will the person who’s aid we are running to be there to drop what they are doing to be there for us. If I set a boundary with them and they get upset, so be it. We must use our energy for self preservation. There is nothing wrong with being honest with ourselves to set a boundary. Whether, its limiting contact, or completely cutting the person off. It’s important to set boundaries with others who may or may not respect the property line, fence, or door. Everyone does not learn the same way. Some people do not listen so they may need to be shown that you are serious about setting a boundary by limiting your contact, or not giving details about your personal life, or, just simply not engaging in the negativity when in their presence.

I encourage anyone who is reading to take care of yourself first and worry about the people who are directly affected by your choices after. If it means taking 10 minutes or 10 days if possible to address yourself, then do it to be well so you can keep going. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. I appreciate you and your time.
