I Made It

[Crow]

I just spent three days surrounded by hundreds of people. I've been at a retreat and usually these things freak me out so much that I sleep for days and spend most of the conference time in high alert. I had my moments this weekend but they passed quickly and I was very present and carried on constant conversation. Even got a BUNCH of what the presenter calls booby hugs. Got stuck in the middle of a Congo line with people pressing in on every side and I was just great. Even wore a dress - a low cut dress - to the party. Lots of progress! Oh! And I got a convertible at an economy rate AND won the major prize of the weekend. Tomorrow I am out of the hotel at 11am and my flight leaves 12 hours later so I'm going to go drive in the desert and try to find some wild horses :photogenic:

Wow, aside from the last bit, that sounds like my worst nightmare come true! I don't know how you did it, but it's very cool that you did!

Mal I hear ya. The thing that made the difference was literally the support and encouragement I received in my trauma diary. Weird how that works!

I NEVER would have believed how much impact support has on healing!
