I have grown so much over the last few years, and especially these last few months.

I’m challenging myself in ways I couldn’t imagine were possible, and speaking about things I thought I’d always be too ashamed of to share.

I manage stress much more effectively.

Even though there are days I doubt myself to an obscene degree, there are also days I can see that I am trustworthy. I can begin to see that I made choices that assisted me in getting me to this point.

I like my instinctual / intuitive knowing, or whatever it is that has helped guide me to increasing wellness.

I like my determination.

I like my empathy which acts as a steady moral compass.

I like my humor and playfulness.
 
I will get to my point in a minute, but first will give some background information. A few days ago my friend and neighbor said to me that it was unfair for one person to be the hostess while another is always the guest. Yup, that's me, the guest. I am the good listener. I bring food sometimes and do things like shucking corn, or other helpful things. She likes to Talk and whenever she can, she does. I listen. I am told that is a very valuable trait. But now I'm being told something more is needed from me. She says she can't afford therapy. Meanwhile, I don't own a TV. She does. I am not a cook, I mess cooking up badly. We each have our best traits. What's so wrong about that? I don't know what to say to her.
