So, my 2007 thus far has been about learning to take better care of myself, in ways that are proactive, productive, and not self-destructive. Sometimes I've felt extremely motivated and other times I have felt frustrated at my lack of momentum, but I've managed to mostly keep my head above water - more and more I'm learning that I need to let go of a my deeply ingrained guilt issues. I was always mildly aware of my guilt, but only recently am I seeing how prominent it figures into my decision-making and anxiety.

I worry too much about taking care of people that it becomes a detriment to me, which in turn also becomes a detriment to them. I guess lately I've been scaling back and not exhausting myself trying to please so many people. And I do feel guilty about it, but I have to press on and get over that.

So I think this place needs a facelift. I mean, just because the weather thinks it's still winter doesn't mean it really is...
