I'm a lot more patient with myself and my limitations. It's ok now not to put on a fancy holiday meal, it's ok to not wrap the gifts, it's ok to need a nap, it's ok to say "hey, I know we wanted to do such and such, but I really don't feel up to it".

Most of that can be related to physical stuff, but it's really a huge burden I've taken off of myself mentally. For most of my life everything had to be just so (translated: perfect), promises kept, don't quit til everyone is ready to quit, etc ...

Fuck that. :crazy:

Life's too short, and when I am up to experiencing it ... it'll be on my own slow terms! LOL
