Thank you BLR - I find myself continually telling myself that I need to make sure I make and will continue to make these decisions for myself and not for other people in my life (i.e. my husband, my parents, my siblings, my grandparents, David's parents, etc.). I know this will be quiet a challenge for me because for so long I feel like I have made decisions only to make others happy or to keep them from being unhappy with me or the situation. I think I saw it as, when I've made them happy, then I can begin to be happy. However, I feel as though this "happiness" that I felt was not true happiness all the time - it was happiness that I had pleased someone else. Hopefully this is not too confusing - I used a lot of "happy". Haha.
