Interesting
how I am always trying
to take care of you
how I strain and sweat
to make sure you are ok
to make sure you are happy
to make sure your feelings aren’t
hurt
regardless of how
I am feeling
But that’s not my job
it’s not up to me
to take care of you
You are grown
You are an adult
You can make your own decisions
You can make your own choices
You can handle
your own consequences
I don’t need to be involved
I don’t need to monitor
I don’t need to
make sure
everything is ok
Yet I do.
Drat it all when that old codependency rears its ugly head… Stomp hard! 🙂

Oh, i honestly believe we are each other’s keeper… we certainly can’t MAKE another happy etc, but it is, for me, sheer joy, to serve another if only to ask, “is there anything I can do for you?” Blessings ~Deborah

Thank you!
It is a tough one – finding the balance between serving and loving others without losing ourselves and our own joy and peace. xoxo
