ouch

I've been waking up with really awful headaches lately... maybe it's the difference in pressure from the rain. They last all day and they make it difficult to sleep at night. I'm hoping since it stopped raining maybe the pressure will go back to normal and it'll go away... perhaps some outside time will whack the thing out of my head. On a more positive note...

Look what Noah got in the mail yesterday from Grandma! :D I had these blocks growing up and they're only the greatest toy of all time. We played with these every single day. We made cars, planes, houses, ballroom floors... anything and everything :) These blocks were the toy of my childhood. I can't believe my mom got them! I thought they were discontinued. Joy of joys :D

We were right.  The longer, winding, moderate path was barely populated and gave us amazing scenery.  We actually sweat during a hike for the first time (on this trip).  We took our time on the way down to the "Tower Bridge".



We hiked past the "Chinese Wall" and many other interesting hoodoo formations.  It looked like another planet there.  The trees were so different than …

Victim Triangle

Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken.


The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected to do so by anyone other than myself).  I do …
