For example, today was a good session with my counselor. We talked about my dream that I have the previous Sunday and how in my dream I stood up for myself against the abuse of my father. She had me see that in real life, I'm doing the same thing with my blog/website here at My Journey of Healing. When there were many years I couldn't speak up and out, I now can do that.
I now am have a friend in my life and she doesn't mind being the first friend that I'm working on to trust! She's a former abuse survivor, so she knows how to talk to me and also understand where I'm coming from. Yes!
I'm taking a chance on her because, well.... I dream of having friends in my life but they don't just magically appear. I have to learn how to trust and how to get to know someone. I've had friends before but they weren't in my "inner sanctum" - only hubby and my counselor is.
Everyone that knew me, knows only what I choose to tell them and what to see about me. Nothing more and nothing less. It kept me protected and from getting massively hurt. Until now.... So this angel that popped into my life is willing to work and teach me on how to trust and how to learn to have friends in my life. Yes! Finally!
My hubby gave me some kudos today! It's not like he doesn't do that already. He does. (Note to self: Need to record those kudos when they come from hubby.) This time, though, it was very special to me. You see, I revamped out business website because I felt we needed to evolve from our old one since our business has evolved since creation.
Hubby told me that he pretty much feels sure that we got our sponsorship for Podio because of the revamped website. Now we have a place that the whole board and staff can have a platform to talk to each other at the same time and we don't have to pay for it. And all because I revamped the website. Thank you honey! You topped my day off with that compliment!
So all in all, the week has been good. And it's the first time in a long time since I can recognize the positives going on in my life! Change! At last! I'm gonna change them old negative tapes in my head turn them into new positive tapes. It may take me some time, but at least I'm working on it! Yes! *smiles*
