Baby steps is correct, its all i've got but im gonna grab hold of it and use it for my motivation. I actually am quite excited b/c I've got an appt with my IC this evening. LOL thats pretty dang funny if you ask me that i'd ever be excited about an appt with a shrink. I think that life changes you, humbles you and surely doesnt always go as planned, and im learning to be ok with all of that. I can tell you that a few months back I was never ok with things not going as planned, now I see it differntly, rather than have firm plans and get bent out of shape when things don't go that way, why not enjoy the ride a little more, smile more, laugh more etc.
I can see the absurdity today in the fact that a few months ago you couldnt have melted me down and poured me into a counselors office, and today I look forward to getting there so that I can learn more about me and improve my relationships in general, not just with my spouse, but with others.
