Unpacking and making plans

I am suppose to be what?

I feel overwhelmed at times with all that is expected of me. I try so very hard to do everything that is expected that sometimes I wonder of I am getting lost in who others expect me to be.

As a wife, mother and now a grandmother, I have found everyone expects something from you. I have a hard time defining boundries sometimes and do more for my children at times than I likely should. The things we do for the ones we love.

Saying no to others and Yes to me more

I am working on saying no to others and saying yes to myself. I want to explore more who I am as me not as mom or wife or grandma. I want to tap into my creative side. Try new things and explore more of the world.

I do not want fear holding me back from trying new things and sharing even things I am not good at or even fail at doing. I want to get outside my comfort zone and surprise not only others but myself. My baby graduates in 2 months and I will no longer be legally responsible for anyone other than myself. I want to take risks I would not dreamed of doing because of my kids.

But first I still have this stuff to unpack

It is much better though than it was and I am making daily progress. Once I get the rest of the stuff unpacked I can focus on what I want to try first.

Sounds like things are settling down on the chaos of the move. You're going to have plenty of opportunities to cut loose a little. Just don't try to do them all at once! ;~D
