it must be spring<\/span>
I feel like <\/span>
something new is coming<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel like <\/span>
the sun is shining<\/span>
(even when it ain’t)<\/span>
and all is right with the world<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve divested myself <\/span>
of the winter dreariness<\/span>
and all it’s accompanying drama junkies<\/span><\/p>\n

I have little or nothing to do <\/span>
with the people I don’t want <\/span>
to spend time with<\/span>
and it feels good<\/span><\/p>\n

I am civil<\/span>
I am friendly<\/span>
but I am not friends<\/p>\n

<\/span>there is no need.<\/span><\/p>\n

each and every day<\/span>
I release more and more<\/span>
of that influence <\/span>
on\/in my life<\/p>\n

<\/span>each and every day<\/span>
I divest myself <\/span>
of one more understanding<\/span>
that turns out to be untrue<\/span><\/p>\n

as a result<\/span>
I no longer feel a need<\/span>
to explain to anyone<\/span>
why I made\/make the decisions <\/span>
I did or will going forward<\/span><\/p>\n

I no longer feel a need<\/span>
to honour people<\/span>
who have dishonoured me<\/span>
who have been so dishonourable<\/span>
as to make me doubt myself<\/span>
who have been <\/span>
and continue to be<\/span>
intentionally hurtful<\/span><\/p>\n

I have set <\/span>
personal boundaries <\/span>
in place<\/span>
in such a manner <\/span>
that I no longer have to consider<\/span>
dealing with people who<\/span>
who are unable <\/span>
to be honest<\/span>
integral<\/span>
or fair<\/p>\n

<\/span>period<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t miss them<\/span>
any more than I miss the drama<\/span><\/p>\n

I do find it humorous <\/span>
that people are still talking<\/span>
behind my back<\/span>
even those I haven’t seen in over a year<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m enjoying having come<\/span>
to the understanding<\/span>
that I am adult<\/span>
and that currently<\/span>
the only person <\/span>
that will always <\/span>
take care of me<\/span>
is me<\/p>\n

I no longer feel a need
for outside voices
to give me direction
and frankly wonder
what was I thinking?
<\/span>
I’ve been a people pleaser<\/span>
all my life<\/span>
however<\/span>
as a result of some serious<\/span>
personal growth work…<\/span>
I no longer feel any kind of a need<\/span>
to please others<\/span>
to my own detriment<\/span><\/p>\n

I no longer feel a need<\/span>
to care for<\/span>
honour<\/span>
trust <\/span>
or respect<\/span>
those that can not<\/span>
or will not <\/span>
return in kind<\/span><\/p>\n

I have rediscovered the ability<\/span>
to find pleasure <\/span>
and strength<\/span>
from within
and am no longer
disappointed in myself
for failing myself
and listening to those
who tried to break my spirit<\/p>\n

my spirit is grounded
my wisdom is
once again intuitive
my faith is
once again strong
and my foot falls
firmly on my path
*so mote it be*
<\/span>
as for what the future holds?<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m really hoping <\/span>
this pending surgery<\/span>
fixes my eyes enough<\/span>
that I can ride<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve a friend lined up<\/span>
to do some recovery work <\/span>
on the old Pickle girl<\/span>
cos she’s not moved <\/span>
or even started <\/span>
in a year<\/span><\/p>\n

so if all goes well <\/span>
it looks like I may be riding <\/span>
sometime this summer<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m getting the rest of my health<\/span>
in line<\/span>
and I’m hoping that skipping<\/span>
off island holidays this year<\/span>
will help me <\/span>
take the final steps<\/span>
I need to take<\/span>
to make some larger changes<\/span>
in my life<\/span><\/p>\n

Pixie has become both <\/span>
a god send<\/span>
and a PITA<\/span>
but I love it…<\/span><\/p>\n

Spring has finally sprung<\/span>
in my heart.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
