:crazy-eye Whew!.....Much to do in the next few hrs. to be ready to leave for retreat today at 4:30. Will be staying 2 nts. 2 days....and not far at all to travel.
1st time since my children were born since I've spent an evening away, alone. From what I hear there will be proper ind. solo time as well, which I'm glad about, but not necessarily thrilled. Rather a little anxious. As sitting still with myself, is not one of my better talents.
And, OMG, do hope all goes well with ability to sleep in the evening. Tempted to place one single sleeping sedative in my pocket, if need be, but highly unlikely that I would ever take it due to the side effects following day, and just my general attitude about going on a retreat and simultaneously taking a pill.
Have not once been on a retreat of this sort or one in several years. Don't know what to expect. Anxious. Will be going even though I already know that it is partially facilitated by a man who once witnessed, a part of mine and others trauma. Soon to find out if I'll encounter any triggers.
Going on hope and hoping all proves somewhat relaxing, centering and helpful. How my invitation to this retreat, all came about, is much of a surprise. I guess it's just one of those unusual mysterious that have happened in my life when I've made prior committments to healing my trauma. Some of these prior committments I did really follow through with too, but inevitably something beyond my control stepped in and brought it all to a hault, or a temporary end.
Will be gone for a couple days.
And, you can bet, I'll be thinking of all of you, and this forum. Keep up all the magnif. healing and God Bless.
sincerely, goingonhope
