Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
So, after some bitter cold days, today was warmer and a little rainy, very dreary. And my day off.
I was pretty good during the week checking things off on my "to do" list. So I didn't have anything to pressing to accomplish today. What I would have liked to do was go for a ride since it has been a few days.
But I didn't. I didn't really do anything today. Slept in to 11:30. Felt depressed. Laid around a little more then remembered I had a little dog to tend to...she is so low maintenance and more then willing to "hold it" till mom gets her act together. I finally got up, stick her out, make some coffee, all with this feeling that today is going to be a sad day because I know already I want to spend it low-key, without outside interaction, and in my comfy pjs.
Here's where the "progress" comes in: I have had more days than I would like to admit just like this over the past 5 - 8 months. But today I realized I could be a slug, read, sleep, watch tv and that didn't have to equate to having a sad, depressing day. I could actually enjoy it.
And I have. Yay.

Instead of a sad day, you actually had a zen day! It is not easy to retrain your brain, but it sure can be done.
Yay for you! : )
I'm impressed with you.
Keep taking care of yourself!
