A note ...

Hey ya'll,

Hope everyone is having a great Friday. No one saw this coming most of all me. However, I'm saying "until later" to everyone. I'm not going to be on the boards much if at all for an indefinite period of time. I'm not happy and haven't been for a long time. I do not believe I can offer a lot right now objectively and that accompanied by some personal reasons I'm choosing to take a break and do some deep soul searching.

For some, you understand my reasons for the most part and for others I wish you the very best in your journeys. This is an amazingly supportive, encouraging & loving board with some really rich and wonderful folks who have so much to offer. Its give & take here and for several years now I've been honored to be a part of this board.

There are situations going on behind the screen that need my time & attention & they are mainly familial and self. For many years I've chosen to put others before myself. That's an unfortunate but well learned lesson. My 17 month soberversary date is coming up (25th) and my 6 year surgiversary is coming up (29th). Although I'm still very proud of my successes & blessings, it hasn't come without prices, compromises and disappointments.

I need to take steps to ensure my mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. In order to do that I need to make marked changes in my life and incorporate boundaries to do so. Its been a pleasure to get to know folks here and when I am ready to come back I pray it will be in a clearer frame of mind with new found determination and happiness. Thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way. Its means more than I can express.

Always,
Kitty Kat

Kat,

I totally understand and you need to take care of yourself. I do hope and pray to meet you before I leave for Ga though. I have followed you and your story and you will be missed!!

Kat,
  You will definately be missed from the boards. You have to do what is right for you. Please stay in touch and visit when you can.
 Peace and prayers,

Best wishes and take care of yourself.  

Well done for putting yourself first, Kat. You will be missed. Take all the time you need. We'll all still be here. :)

The need to take care of yourself should definitely come first.  I know you have the strength & determination to push through.  I also have faith that you will not alienate  yourself from support you need.  You do have a lot of things going on in your life and it is understandable that you need to focus.  Wishing you the best as you tackle things.  Sending you my prayers, love & hugs.  Let me know if you need something.

Kat,  take care of yourself!  Congrats on your 17th month soberversary and your 6 year sugerversary!  I am a caretaker myself.  I have always been.  One thing I have learned over the years, to be effective and a good caretaker, my number one focus has to be me and know when to say no and when you need to take care of you!!  Many hugs!!
