I'm really looking forward to meeting with my therapist tomorrow. (Never thought I'd say that.) I haven't made as much progress this week as I would have liked but I'm still here. I'm still trying. That counts. I can't weed out all the dandelions in one go.
I'm also looking forward to my Mom's visit for Christmas. Remember when I was scared? It's still new and new is often scary. But the genuine love and concern from my Mom is a life jacket when I'm lost at sea.
I still want to run. I still want to hide. Wish the pain away instead of leaning into it. I've tried it. Doesn't work so well. I end up crumpled in front of the fireplace waiting for a miracle.
I do see miracles all around me.
I am blessed beyond my capacity to truly comprehend.
And yet.
I yearn for something more. I know in the 12 step groups one of the biggest things is letting things go. Letting Go and Letting God. Recognizing what I can control and what I cannot. I find that it is easy to say and very hard to do. If I let go what if I get hurt again?
To which I hear Wolf from The 10th Kingdom say, "Well, maybe you won't get hurt. But, huff-puff, you won't get loved either."
It's been a long day. And I am grateful, SO grateful, for new friends I have found along this way.
Sorry there's not much more to the post. I don't have much to offer at the moment.
This is my reality.
