Sid,
It's common for the NB Cirrus to take a few years before it blooms, isn't it? Sometimes I get my facts mixed up, but I thought that I heard that somewhere. Seeing it bloom would be the coolest thing!
Thanks for validating my need to just be still for a while. I feel like over the past couple of weeks, so much has been shaken up that I need to just relax and let some of the pieces fall back into place. The pieces always fall - and I always manage to pull myself together. I feel some changes going on within me since I started this new round of EMDR. I am finding myself distancing myself from my mom and dad and the one sibling that I actually talk to on a regular basis. While the relationships might work on some level, I am the one who puts the most effort into them. I pretend that some of the things they do don't bother me. After some relationship dissection, I am just not so willing to play the game anymore.
Anyway.... ramble, ramble, blah, blah....
I loved the description of your house, Sid - "a jungle without the monkeys!" My plants and fish have taken over my formal dining room. I call it my "corner of life." It's very therapeutic!
Take care of yourself today,
Beka
