What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Tired... Weak.. Hopeful. Ready for change. It's coming, peace in the wind, a change from the internal season. External a distraction? Maybe. Tired. Facing myself, shatters the self. From chaos comes order? Hope those greeks were right...

Feel as if I'm caught in intense rapids in a river... there's no possible way I can swim upstream, or anywhere... just have to keep my head above the water and hope the river deposits me somewhere safe before I drown.
Hopeful, very hopeful: THAT's my floatation gear...

Thinking about all the good people and graces, the training and healing work, that provides the hope that keeps me breathing, afloat,...
So very thankful... You are a major part of the hope....
 
Hmm, how am I feeling? I think it would be helpful to ask myself that every morning. Lately, I've felt like an alien in my body. I wonder who's talking and then I realize it's me.

Reeling. Confused. Reeling. I don't know whether to be happy to realize emotional abuse started with my stepdad at age 12 or completely stupid for not acknowledging the obvious - bad choice of partner - over and over. My God, I even wrote a paper in college about his treatment of me. I am just sick because it's so obvious. My need for approval. Need to prove people wrong who think I'm not good enough. My seeking out of these men in relationships and the drama. Why have I done this to myself? And the betrayal by my mom, letting me be treated that way. Sorry, I just thread-vomited. Realizing both he and my mom were abused as kids in different ways, but both markedly including abandonment.

-- the reflection started after my ex husband was extremely, beyond nice and generous and I wrote him a thank you note. Then I stared at it. I wrote him a thank you??? My abuser??
 
Well Grace, you are right. But you were thanking him for the 'present' (action).
You can let it go, you know now differently, that's what matters.
