Life has been very good lately. I know I am feeling my usual happy self even upon rising. I know it's a combination of the meds and therapy. But, that's ok, this is how I used to be. It's good to be active again-my home, gardens, beads, crochet, etc. Of course I know I have to stay on the meds awhile, and that's ok too. I really don't want to go back to all that "blue funk" crap anymore. Life is just to short. Even the Doctor who did my colonoscopy said that with meds one gets over the depression twice as fast. Yea!!
I enjoy talking with my therapist. It's nice to have someone to talk to about things going on with me. I am moving on in the therapy, we are now working on my self image and body image. How cool is that? I don't remember having a really close girlfriend when I was younger to be able to do that with. You know, how do I come off to other people, does this make-up look good, hairstyle, dress. Right now I am working on not seeming arrogant when I meet people. I'm not arrogant, but more like a teacher when people ask me questions. I can also seem a bit standoffish when I am reading something in an office or anywhere. I just get into what I am reading. That comes from to many years of just being alone with no other adults to talk to. Books became my friends. Sooooo we are trying to change that. I also move with-in myself when problems arise. I just gotta start letting people know what's up when those times happen.
Today is a wonderful day. The sun is shining. It is suppose to get up into the 90's!! It's my usual housework day. Nice to have moved the dust around and the floors swept and washed. Smells good when the heat comes up-LOL
Tomorrow, I hope we are going to go back down to Balboa Island as they are having an art walk. Ah spending the day looking at beautiful art, on the bay. What could be better than that?
Also, PLEASE, remember that tomorrow is also "MT Saint Helen's day. On May 18th 1980 the mountain erupted. 20 some people lost their lives, and the area around the mountain was changed forever. I will never forget hearing the blast from over 200 miles away. Thank you.
Luv
