Another Break
I have decided again to take down my profile on online dating sites that I tend to frequent. I’m going to leave it up on the ones I don’t frequent because that’s just easier than trying to figure out my username and password. I’m only saying all this because the interventions have been launched and I just want my friends to know that I love you and agree with you - and you’re right, I’ll be better off going a little more slowly and carefully.
The thing is I have to set the example. Even though my children are blissfully unaware of what Mommy does when she’s not at home, they are going to read this blog when they’re older and I want them to live their lives well. We all make mistakes, right? But if I am going to teach them by example then it would be better to teach them by a positive one.
I haven’t done anything all that bad, but it’s enough that I would never admit to a lot of it here - which, I guess, in and of itself is an admission of guilt. I think, certainly, that the way in which I have been behaving lately isn’t the way I want to live my life.
