Christmas was great, about last night :)
I know this is a place to share, but I feel so selfish to approach what I want to talk about.
Yesterday and last night were really nice. I went to my family's house and exchanged gifts
and we talked all together and watched basketball. We then went to a neighbor's house to watch
a movie. In retrospect it was all really nice and I am really grateful.
I think I just want to hold on to that. That memory and bring it forward to my day today - bring that
Christmas joy through the new day and week ahead and up to the New Year celebrations!
I learned there is definitely something different about me last night. While we all sat around and talked
I noticed that I don't talk as much as the others - and what I talk about is different. The neighbors
and my Dad talk about business and old stories - You know what? I am going to embrace my individuality -
and yes I am different and maybe that's a strength!!??? I am feeling like I am supposed to be where I am,
and yet I'd love to learn how to harness my greatness inside. Like learn how to unlock and maximize the talent
I have so I can produce something in life that will effectuate my talents and potential.
I don't know if I want to wait for my Dr. but I'll definitely bring it up with him.
I feel like we all have potential - if it's just if we can learn to know ourselves and put our hidden tools
and talents to work!!
I feel optimistic!!
Happy day after Christmas!! Happy Boxing Day!!

So glad to hear you had a great Christmas day. It's always fun to share time with family and friends.
differences and all, I am determined to do things that are worthwhile. that may help somebody or some folks - and that will support my own sense that I am adding
thanks becky! I wrote the response to my own Journal before seeing your response! Thanks very much!!
I'm so glad you had such a nice Christmas sweetie.... That's wonderful!!!..... I'm so glad that you're feeling good about who you are.... I think you are a wonderful person and offer a whole lot to this world.....xo
Jan, you are SO LOVELY!! Thank you so much!!
Yesterday's events really pulled me out of my shell. I have been living in a world that is comfortable to me and kind of just allowed me to see the world on my own - in my own style if that makes sense.
I went to this party yesterday - and really realized that folks are all talking about much different things!! It's made me see, while turning this over in my head, that I may have my own style and appreciating that is important - but it's important to keep that in a frame work of other folks! I know this must sound maybe weird - but at the same time that I am lucky to be at this house where I have been - it shows me that if I had been on my own - I might have gotten so insular and sick again --- I can't stay on my own so much - otherwise I might lose touch with 'the outside world.'
It's great that I have a job - and this place to live - though I may not like the dynamic so much of this place - I think my experiences lately have been teaching me how to get along in this world -
and maybe also the self confidence I need to get along (accepting my own funky individual style about things.) :)
