Thanks, Lisa.
I suppose I'm just looking for the support and someone to affirm these decisions that I'm making. I fully recognize that I can't do it alone, and yet sometimes it's just so darn difficult to make connections with people and I get into thinking "well, if I can't do it alone- and I feel so alone- then I can't do it. So why bother?" And I realize that this is the very essence of defeat. I don't want to allow this kind of thought to take root.
If I feel alone, then it's my job to reach out.
