Don't others see how much I'm hurting? Can't they see I need help? Don't they care?
The issue is not whether others see or care. The issue is whether we see and care about ourselves. Often, when we are pointing a finger at others, waiting for them to have compassion for us, its because we have not fully accepted our pain. We have not yet reached that point of caring about ourselves. We are hoping for awareness in another that we have not yet had.
It is our job to have compassion for ourselves.
When we do, we have taken the first step toward removing ourselves as victims.
We are on the way to self-responsibility, self-care, and change.
Today, I will not wait for others to see and care; I will take responsibility for being aware of my pain and problems, and caring about myself.

Oh Mel, thank yoyu for sharing this particular post at this moment. You floor me when I drop in to visit your site, and you have something there that hits me smack dab in the face with THE TRUTH - the truth that I needed to read at that very moment. You must have a secret crystal ball. Thanks! I'm back on line, which I'm glad for. Not physically well, but hanging in for good or bad at the moment. Take care and keep sharing your blog - - you touch my life with magic and help! -Patti-
