What Made You Happy Today?

I am so happy that I am having such a wonderful day. Back to the grind tommorow. I have a psych doc appointment tommorow and I get a tooth pulled on Friday. Then I will be done for appointments for awhile.

Treating myself to an "Easter Dinner" from the deli at the grocery store.

I must say it was delicious and am glad that I did that!

I faced a fear today and allowed my therapist to read some writing I did a few weeks ago; I have a horrible fear of letting people read these things because I have been treated very badly in the past. But I felt secure enough to show them this morning and I feel a bit of relief after doing so.

I heard some children giggling so I looked out my open window and there was a mom, probably doing her laundry at the Laundromat next door and her 8 children. They were all dressed up in the same dress (the girls) and the boys were all wearing just regular drab colors. But the girls' dresses were all bright pink. The kids were adorable and I just smiled and smiled as I watched them race and play and giggle and have fun.

I came from a family with only one other sibling, so I was deprived of such joys for the most part, except that we had some friends who had 5 kids and also neighbors that did too. None the less, I never had the chance to dress up exactly like my sister. One of these girls today even had a doll with matching colored cloths to go with her dress! SO CUTE!

I let my Therapist read my Trauma Diary here. It is 5 webpages long or so, so I don't know how much of it she read, but I figured it was a great way for her to know me in a short period of time. We were just starting out as a team (my previous Therapist had moved to a different practice).

This morning when I tried to go online, my computer would not let me. So I figured that I would have to drop it off at the service center for another two weeks. Amazingly he fixed the problems and said this site has issues sometimes. I am on chrome now.

My laptop is working fine and I am so happy that I did not have to lose it for another two weeks. I got to take it home and it is working well.

I renewed my tech support for two years so I will be having real help for the times I have problems. I also got another disc for anti virus support.

I feel so much better now.

I felt some feelings and wasn't so dissociated.

That I was able to see the light through the trees so to speak. Money has been a major issue over the last few months due to my husband losing his second job(part time). We are starting, very slowly, to get back on our feet. We won't be rich, but, if we are careful, we will be fine.

Being able to reassure my husband and actually feel it made me happy today. Or, maybe I should say content.

When I went to the store today, I saw a former co-worker there. Before, I would probably avoid her, but today, I wanted to say something to her. I saw her taking her time to get to the cash register, and eventually she was behind me, but she was avoiding me, and keeping her distance.

I did say her name, thus, she did speak to me. I just noticed how I felt so okay in acknowledging her for the very first time ever. Even though the conversation was short and sweet, it was about me. I gained so much from it, it was like I got my power back from her. She was very instrumental in me leaving my last job.

I am thinking things through more and more. It is confronting but it is so good. It is starting to step out of the PTSD black and white thinking more and more.

Wonderful news today. My stepdaughter and her husband are going to move in and live with my daughter and the girls. I am so happy about this. They will both be close to me, ten minutes away. They sure cheer my husband up. He smiles so much when he is around them. They really lavish love and laughter on him. It does him and me worlds of good.
