"well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe"

Today, I am grateful for the people who hurt me. They are the reason I move on.  They help me set healthy boundaries and get real clear on what I deserve.  

I am learning how to express my feelings.  I'm not very good at this.  But, like everything in life, I get better with practice. 

I accomplished being uncomfortably honest with a friend about how I am feeling.  I asked for what I need and I was met with love and compassion. 

I delighted in hearing about the birth of a friend's baby, in watching two children play on a swing, in seeing a flock of doves fly across a blue sky, and in singing it out while preparing dinner.
