relax and be happy

Today, I am grateful for the rain especially on a lazy day like today where I can enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds from the comfort of my warm bed. 

I am learning how to accept praise that is directed at the person I am and not the thing I do. It’s critical for my growth to acknowledge this as an act of nourishment and love and I’m thankful I have people in my life that help me with this part of my process. 

I accomplished making my dog's food for the week and not expecting any more from myself today. 

I delighted in receiving a card from my dad (something that would have previously triggered my PTSD), in listening to the heavy rain clear the air and water my garden, in a delicious dinner, chocolate fondue, and a truly spectacular show with my friends, and in sharing this practice with another woman in my tribe.
