Discourses and musings from a second Saturn return

Caretaking

I’ve been such a caretaker in this life.  I’ve also had people take care of me.  It has taken me many years to see that taking care of another makes them weak.  The same is true when someone is taking care of me.

There is a fine line between service and codependence.  I’ve waffled that line all of my life.  It is interesting to listen to the language we use on ourselves and others, very telling. 

Now, as I take longer looks at myself and the way I have managed my life, I’m on the fence, knowing I cannot go fully back into codependent relationships, and a little frightened about the other kinds. 

Health is very important to me now.  Of course, the physical, but more, the emotional and mental levels for they, more than anything else, are creating my life every moment.
