Self-inflicted guilt

[Wahine]

This is a fascinating thread and I want to thank all of you, especially GLC1968, for sharing your thoughts on this topic. It seems like something that so many women are prone to and that I have struggled with myself. I seem to be much better about it all now that I'm no longer in a relationship with an overly critical partner, but it still lingers. And it's something that I try hard to discourage in my coaching and physical therapy clientele.

You know, one of the things both my husband and I had to think about when we made this decision was that not having goats and the farm makes us less interesting. Were we ready for that? It sounds vain and stupid, but really, a very big part of our identities since moving here has been tied up in this place. It's a huge change to let that go.

Wonder if some of us feel that way about cycling..and when we will give it up (hopefully way into the future), would we feel the same way?

Look forward to new adventures. Just around the corner.
