Time to get back on the horse

Hi Girls,

Last time I went out as Jan a friend said something to me that was a little upsetting.

At the time I was very involved in a major project and the combination of the two led me to neglect the Jan part of me.

I realise the danger of this. I am her and she is me. (Who said that?)

I even stopped coming to my favourite forums.

Had the best time last Monday night. Dressed fully for first time in nearly a year, went through my wardrobe to do some sorting out and took lots of pictures.

Jan is back in my life and she is more important now than ever before.

Will do lots of reading and catch up with what has been going on in your lives and looking forward to getting to know the new girls too.

Love,


Jan

Hi Jan,

I hear an exhuberance in your post that I totally understand. I remember that feeling when Elizabeth came back to life. It was a religious experience. Anyway, welcome back, I look forward to your future insights.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Sorry to hear that Jan ,

You may remember a negative comment from a GG regarding my choice of footware back in our early days , I changed my style to a more appropriate style of blistering footware.
I realized that I was then dressing to other peoples approval and not to my own individual style , the result was reconciling myself to the fact that no matter what mode I'm in " I'M STILL BEING JUDGED".

I don't know what exactly happened in your case but take this advice -
"you are who you are and if people do not accept you as you are", then hold your head high and give them a single finger salute.
