Hello,I wanted to stop for a minute, take a breath in and out! and update you on my week. I am exhausted from 12 hour plus days, but able so far to keep my pain level in check. And man do I sleep....LOL WOW! What an amazing ride this past month has been. Today I just completed my first week at the new job and feel like I have grown so rapidly that I cant even keep up with me. I know I have always appeared out going to the world at large but inside I have been so afraid that I was not good enough, that I have always found a way to interact with people that did not put me in a position where I had to admit that I was not confident. As an example I never read out load in a group until I have read it over in my head, for fear that I will not pronounce a word correctly. I never write on a board in front of people, for I fear I will miss spell something. I rarely enter into a group discussion unless I am very confident that the group will be supportive of what I have to say. Yet today alone I did all of these things and never once felt I had to be guarded, nor afraid. What has happened to me? I don't know what it is , but dang it really feels good. I have received so many genuine welcoming remarks at my new job this week that it feels unbelievable. They constantly tell me what a wonderful job I am doing, and rely on my expertise already. I feel so love, so excepted for who I am. It is almost like a full time 12 step group, open, honest, caring, and accepting! But the most AMAZING of all, is that I actually feel like I deserve and am worthy of what everyone is saying. I truly feel blessed! Sharon
