I go back and tend to folks and act like the auntie and fix and rework things.I have learned that my people can hurt me alot and that a healthy dose of realism is ok. I keep some distance not without love but respect for our differences.<br />I offer a room to a sister, this and that always weaving in and out. At one point I thought you could just shut it all out.. make up all new people.. that does not work for me. I am tied to my people for good or for bad.There are moments when it hurts so bad to turn the other cheek .. sometimes I want to run but I have the memory that that did not work either. The rich fabric of my people is beautiful in its own way.<br />Challenging, dynamic and it shapes who I am. As I age, I am clearer that I am me and not them. I can be different, shape different paths, have different values, love different people.. yet under it all ..the my people thread is there. Always round trees and fall colors, always love of advocates and stories, always a melancholy and romanticism.. it all is woven in..to come to peace with this may be one of life's most difficult tasks. To have love and bou ndaries, to love unconditionally and also stay safe. A rough road and a bumpy path. I try to add new people to my circle and expand the <br />sense of community, Sometimes the most support has come from folks who are new to my world and that is ok.Stay well, M and P JTJoan Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12969249085510950816noreply@blogger.com
