let the feelings flow through you

Today, I am grateful for the process of making space.  I have to "unpack the boxes in the attic," the ones covered with cobwebs and dust, the ones I've been afraid of and avoiding for years.  I have to feel the feelings that I pushed away in the past to open my heart to the now and to move forward fearlessly.

I am learning how to ask for help.  I suck at this when I am tired and stressed.  So, I am learning how to recognize my needs before they are screaming at me from not having been met. 

I accomplished receiving affection from a new friend.  Real intimacy, particularly new intimacy, scares the bejeebers out of me.  

I delighted in dancing it out, in making it to aqua aerobics, in chatting with the fun people in my class, and in receiving a warm morning message from a new friend.
