well I have decided after a long sabatical from mylot to return and write some discussions on the topics of my chosen interests. I have the past year gone through some really huge life changes. I have become a grandmother to a most beautiful little boy. My son is no longer with his mother and there is no rest from the constant barrage of tension and insults and changing her decisions on when my son is allowed to have my grandson. Unfortunately there is no real escape for me as my son due to the personal circumstances is unable to be re housed until the whole situation is resolved. One benefit is that I get to see my grandson and spend time with him. I still have my daughter living at home too, so having three adults in the house can be quite a strain some times. I have been going through some very different emotions and also reading and studying counselling, but as those of you know you also open up wounds you thought you had dealt with. I have gone through some very deep experiences and I am so glad that I can now share some of my feelings with others. The beginning of May has been also a very traumatic time and I have had both my children and my grandson visit ER, and I have had a spell in hospital for nearly a week. I am recouping but I have to be honest I would not change anything. I feel going to therapy and having somebody outside my friendship circle and family circle really and truly helps me to achieve a sense of peace. I also feel that my true spirituality is blossoming, and I feel having the internet has been a true blessing as I have been able to share some of my experiences with others who may have been going through similar trauma. The only part of the past year I would delight in change and that would be to stop being so hard on myself and give my self time to rest and relax. I know that this is only the third discussion I have written and I hope this sparks some thought and wonder what one thing you would change about your past year?

I really do not want to change much about me in the past life might be but for the environment where I live. I have to come across so many hurdles, pull so many responsibilities that at times I feel exhausted and gone. But I have to spend a lot of time in hospitals to look after both my family members, and my neighbors. I really do not mind much standing by the side of people when they need me and call me on for help.
