This blog is the result of me painfully wanting to relax and enjoy life. It seems like I have always been shy of this goal. After many hours of reading, pondering, praying, counseling, walking (not enough :) ), observing healthy people, journaling, researching, etc. I came across something that I think really pegs it for me. It's a list off of the CoDA website or www.codependents.org entitled "Patterns and Characteristics of Codependence". I was 19 out of 22 listed characteristics. I hesitated naming this blog what I did because it is my aim to GET OUT from under that description, but it fit so well. So here I go journaling my road out of codependency!!!
