DBT - Here we go!

Image
And here we go! Tonight was the first night of class and I feel like a dragster that can't wait to get off the starting block. I sat in class, listening and also comparing. I was thinking "how was I feeling in the first night last round" and seeing where that lined up with tonight. Um, yah, a pretty big difference. I remember the first class from last time - I was scared to death! I do believe I saw that same fear in some of the new class members tonight. A part of me was empathetic, another part of me was so happy that it wasn't me. There was some anxiety and apprehension in my heart and mind. At one point I just quietly took my little rock out of my pants pocket and moved it to my jacket pocket. As I listened to everyone share I ran through my script in my mind - what does the rock feel like, how deep are the indentations, which side is smoother, and so on. It is one of my rocks from my calming box. I almost always carry it in my pocket. One side is completely smoot...

Today I am thankful for rejuvenating hot showers. Although I still feel hungover from the last couple days, I am still thankful. Plus, I would love to own this shower head. Wouldn't that make showers even more fun??

Thankful - Sept 7

Today I am thankful for all my friends, family, and others who took a moment to wish me a happy birthday. It is good to be reminded that I am loved.
