Today is Better
Yesterday, I wrote a post expressing disappointment with my immediate family for their lack of help with my wedding. Several of you reached out, shared your own experiences, or gave me electronic hugs, and I thank you for that.
After posting, I decided I needed to let these feelings about my family go for the time being. After the wedding, I would like to have a talk with them, but right now, I don't feel as if I'd handle it well and it may just antagonize them. Instead, I'm trying to focus on the joy of the upcoming wedding, my wonderful FH, and trying to enjoy these remaining days as much as possible. Over the weekend, I told FH how upset I was, and he said he would ask him Mom if she could help out. Anyway, she called last night, and offered her help, even offered to look at my dress with me if I'd like. Since FH spoke to her, a friend agreed to go with me, but I am happy for the offer and will take her up on her offer to help with some other things, maybe the programs.
So, today I'm feeling better and need to just remind myself to focus on the people who are there for me, and less on those who are not.
