I'm a little proud of me this morning, thinking about where I was last year at this time and comparing it to where I am. I was just a month or so out of a hospitalization and my world had been turned upside down. I was looking for another job, evqluatng friendships... just a mess.
I'm feeling proud AND blessed to still be here. I have many people to thank for helping me. My son, my mother, more. ❤️❤️
These photos were taken at a pool party yesterday. I can't remember when I felt so healthy. And comfortable in my surroundings I have some pretty great friends now.
And, importantly, plans! Having things to look forward to is a big part of staying healthy and I'm so excited that I now do. I couldn't see it for a little while. Happiness in days to come.
I told a friend about my health challenges for the first time a couple evenings ago. She actually said she had no idea. And she has two siblings who have been dealt similar hands in life.
I'm really looking forward to a day when I can share this blog too, btw. I know from professional experience that many people in recovery could benefit from seeing me, someone who's "been there," succeeding. I feel like I am. Right now, for now, I'll protect my job though.
It's a lovely Lanor Day morning and I'm sitting in the sun contemplating what to do today. The lake or the pool party. I wish everyone in recovery had such a dilemma! I'm thinking lake Maybe even take my fishing pole this time!
Have an amazing day!
