I went to Walmart today knowing that the person who hurt me in January wasn't working today and that he often shops there. I really needed some things and knew I wouldn't have time tomorrow. I was so afraid that I was sick before I left, but I got in my car and went anyway.

I admit I didn't tarry, but I didn't run through the aisles, either.

I'm very glad he wasn't there and I'm very glad I made myself go. I have to make myself live. No more hiding! No more!!!!!!!!!

Yea, Jan!!! I do know how you feel - I am that way after having confronted my Dad about s*x ab*s* recently. We haven't spoken since and he shops at the same grocery store. That is great that you went today! I Did a Very Brave Thing Today

Honey, you are the bravest person I know. I can't imagine anyone ever associating the word "coward" with you!! Look at everything you've been through, and the grace with which you handle it. I have a lot to learn from you.

(((((((((((((((((((Jan))))))))))))))))))))))

Love, Candy

oh jan, yer easy....... you know, bunnies are prey, but they are the most life loving little critters. Curious and brave. Learn from their experiences. Pick themselves up and hop back into thier lives with eyes wide open. And, oh my, do they love treats. Relish the good life when it happens by. Bear their hurts with quiet dignity. Give second chances. Of course you ae a bunnybabe, sheeeesh, easy one.......!!!!
