At some point I decided that my friends wouldn't care how my house looked and anyone who DID care didn't have their priorities right and wasn't truly a friend. I still struggle with shame about my housekeeping even with friends, but I've learned that they love me anyway. Glad you let yourself have guests and enjoy it. Hope you let yourself do it more and more often.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to be so long - but one of the things that cured me. My mother had dementia at the end of her life. She had always been obsessive about house cleaning and what the neighbors would think. I watched her spend the last 3 years of her life picking imaginary dirt off the floor. Somehow that helped me turn a corner on how ultimately unimportant such things are.Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996538460071167819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-6063131312887680632008-05-13T12:47:00.000-07:002008-05-13T12:47:00.000-07:00My mom kind of gets the same way at times.

Yes, this even includes my family. The bad part is that I LOVE being around people! <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had fun with the cookout!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408633498198921799noreply@blogger.com
