Open October was interesting and it really ended with a bang. It was a two for one yesterday. One, I ended something that never should have started and something that had long ended posed the possibility of starting again. I’m like, “You’ve got to be freaking kidding me!” It’s sort of funny but not when I think about how difficult that time period was and how I thought I’d never be able to get out of that. As I talked with a friend and then had some quiet time to myself, it dawned on me that this person that posed a possible starting again, still hasn’t mastered communication, sadly. And then I thought about the “freeing” thing I talked about in my last blog. I don’t want what I don’t want! Communication is so important in a relationship and I don’t want to go through that again.

So, OPEN TO WHAT I WANT is how I see yesterday and today. It is about being open to what I want with confidence and courage. It is also about saying no to what I don’t want with confidence and courage. I appreciate all that October has brought to me and has taught me.
