    Boundaries

    Walls are solid and rigid, they keep others out and me trapped within. Boundaries are flexible, changeable, removeable so it is up to me how open or closed I am at a given time. They allow me decide what behaviour is acceptable not only from others but also myself. Today I have the ability to say 'No' with love instead of hostility, so it doesnt offend and end any relationships. I check if my defenses keep me safe or isolate me. As I continue to decide what is and isent acceptable for me, I learn that I love myself enough to look for healthier ways to protect myself, ways that dont close everyone out. Additionally, knowing my boundaries does not mean forcing others to change, it means that I know my own limits and take care of myself by respecting them.

                      That is a great thought irish! I work on peacefully keeping them in place when they are being pecked at. Relentless pecking. It isn't easy. Love the "I'm good enough" too!
