Thank you for all of the kind words, support, and advice.
I appreciate this space more than I can express.
I’m at my regular dr. appointment today. I got upset again the other day and the headache has reappeared with it.
My therapist says that the headaches are my reaction to adrenaline, which makes perfect sense. It’s just difficult to learn this new approach to life.
I LOVE the Pete Walker stuff, that was really what I need to hear.
I have been alone on this journey for just over the past half century, and I have to understand that meaningful change takes time. Learning patience takes, well... patience, and so it goes.
I don’t expect to ever be perfect, I remain a work in progress, but the pursuit of the self improvement and self realization is satisfying in the incremental progress that I make.
I love myself, but I, up until recently have not treated myself very well. I will try to show more appreciation for myself and try to learn to put myself first without being selfish or inconsiderate of others.
As I read these things, I notice that they are all filled with hope. Hope is the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope is the belief that things can improve. Hope is a good thing. It may be the best of things.
