The Ilse of Denial
Ive spent much of my life living on my island of denial. I dont think I went there intentionally, just kinda washed up on shore. Its such a happy place. No worries. No cares. Only problem is your usually living there alone. Ive been accused of wanting a fairy tale. Maybe so, its hard when you grew up with all the “happily ever after” stories. Im still like that today, looking for the happy ending. My parents protected me from alot (out of love) but BOY what a rude awakening when I got my first dose of the real world. WOW! Why is it so hard to just face reality? Yeah, sometimes it sucks. And sometimes it always sucks. I just like to know there is hope that things will be well again. I need to set sail for the Ilse of Healthy Balance. It may be a long journey but maybe Ill see some of you there.

Yep…de nile is not just a river in Egypt…
You are such a good writer!
You will make it there…you might have to paddle…or set your sails…but you will make it!
Oh I need to go there, too!!!

I too was sheltered when I grew up, and had a rude awakening.
I think along the way to the isle if Balance, we may need to go thru the towns of Patience(with ourselves and others) and Acceptance. At least I do. Great blog!
