Day 1 Is In The Books

Day 1 of self care recovery is in the books. Overall it was a good day. Spent the morning and afternoon grocery shopping, laundry and reading. Last evening I had my EAP appt. it is always a good session. I have connected with my counsellor.

I shared with him what was happening and he commended me for taking the time to do self care and work on getting myself better.  I shared what has been happening with me. We ended up doing a role play where I was asked how to deal with the same situation. It was very refreshing and reaffirming to hear me share my insights into my own situation. It gave me insight and strength on how to proceed with my own situation.

The other positives from day 1 were the love and support from my sweetie knows no bounds. We are totally and wholly in love with each other. My network reached out to me and have coffee appointments with several of them to look forward.

My sweetie has a morning ritual of watching The View. In today's show Terry Crews was sharing his story. One of the take home messages is that we cannot heal without concession. He is a survivor and recognizes that all the male bravado is all hot air. Males are not more important, males are not superior. The notion of male privilege does not exist. Women are more emotionally intelligent than men. Men can be emotional and it is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength.

Life is so short, take the time to heal, be kind, choose your words carefully and enjoy the view. The view of life. Sometimes the view will be cloudy, foggy, rainy, snowy and sunny. Whatever the view is we can make the most out of our day.

It seems that I have too much going on to focus on just one thing. I am hoping over the next two weeks to listen to the universe to be able to focus on what I need to focus on. Either way Day 1 is in the book and day 2 is here.
