It’s not negotiable anymore. This gal is done. I’m taking the next 9-12 months for myself to become stronger mentally and physically and to figure out what would make me happy. Don’t get me wrong…I love my mom dearly and will still take good care of her but sister will be stepping in a whole lot more. So will hired help. My priority for now is me.

I hope everyone is having a peaceful day. Much love
@Sunflower123, I am happy you're home and feeling empowered after your time in the hospital. I apologize in writing that I didn't know you went in. I've been so busy that I've not kept up here as much as I like. Wishing you relaxation and peace.
