Simple as that

I'm trying to keep validated and positive. I may not have the kind of relationship I want with certain folks but it doesn't mean I don't love them or won't be there for them. I need to keep up my standard but won't expect them to be how they aren't. I need to get my life in order. Another step to healing! :)

There comes a time when you will feel comfortable in your own skin, enough to choose that positive view, no matter what's happening around you.

You're doing a wonderful job with working it out through writing, sharing, walking, and just being in the moment!

keep on stepping, my healing warrior. itsy bitsy baby steps make the surest journey.

the great positive i gain from validating my less comfortable (negative) emotions is a far greater range of options on what to do with them. best of all, it keeps me from the hard work of convincing myself that an iron beam is a soft, fluffy pillow or that an elephant turd will be better for the dinner table than the compost pile. waste not, want not?

i am under the distinct impression that your life is admirably in order. i believe life should be a series of daring adventures launched from a secure base. methinks your base might be secure enough to launch some daring adventures. take a risk.
