Awesome. It took me a long time to understand the positives of taking care of oneself in a healthy way - it's never selfish - in fact, I think the more we take care of ourselves in healthy, productive ways, the more of our authentic selves we have to offer another person - a self that isn't weakened or compromised by expectations.

It was great to just have a good day. Although the last phone conversation I had with my W was still somewhere in the back of my mind, I decided to not let it overwhelm me today. I had a GOOD day.
That's really it - isn't it? Striking that balance between acknowledging, accepting, and processing - without slipping into the need to control things that are out of our hands...setting aside that control just seems to allow a lot more room for good days.

In the rough seas of life, I am just glad to have enjoyed calm waters and a gentle breeze... at least just for today. What else is there to do?...I can only control one person: Myself.
And isn't there a great kind of freedom that comes with accepting that...brilliant.
