I have been gifted a truck and I decided to put a mattress topper, blankets and pillows in the back of it.
Two nights ago, I saw 9 shooting stars, the moon rise, heard the crickets chirp, and watched the fireflies dance. Is this the equivalent of taking myself out on a date?
I am so at peace.
Last night I sat in a lightning storm, heard the power of the thunder, bathed in a shower from the heavens and counted 16 toads that also were taking in the glory of nature. How marvelous a storm.
Tonight I played my ukulele in attempts to start the process of writing my own love song to myself. Choosing to be in the now is so freeing. Tonight, the owls hoot and the wind caresses the leaves.
The days have been so hot here in North Carolina. I'm finding coffee shops, malls, thrift stores and bars to be a welcomed relief. I also found that the heat is a wonderful reminder to be still, but why not use that time towards making my dreams come true?
Today I worked 12 hours on my website and various other personal projects. It helped that yesterday was about 9 hours of working on these projects in addition to identifying goals. Have my life coach to thank for that motivation.
I am just so thankful to be where I am today. So many baby steps, so much work on my mental health, so many supportive people in my life.
This sounds cheesy, but cuddling saved my life. It was the door I needed to walk thru to embrace my post traumatic growth.
I hope you find your inner peace too. Everyone is worthy of that. Mine started by choosing to love myself. Maybe you too could take yourself out on a date you've always wanted.
