What's Good About Today?

[dougyhowzer]

Today I started reading a devotional book that is centered on Jesus and PTSD suffers .

I want to be careful in wording this but, I found a beautiful relationship with Jesus that has had a very healing and positive , life giving transformation that has been on going these last 5 years .

I also felt that I connected with my inner childlike spirit for the first in a long time.

As I was playing a classical piece on my guitar , I felt a joy that I had not felt in 20+ years .

I think the very last time I recall feeling this joy while doing an activity was lip-singing to a bunch of songs in my special school when I was 10 years old

Yesterday, was all my family time!

I am being an adult. I am in this now. I am not watching the world from a distance. I know I am real. I know the world is real. I am here now. I am making choices and participating and I am being adult about the situations that
I am dealing with.

I was doing dog training early this morning. The Red Dog was getting rewards for heeling correctly. The cat decided that she, too, wanted rewards, so she heeled on my right side, as was logical, as the red dog was on my left side. (As I have been working on them improving their behaviour around each other - feeding one treat to one animal then another reward. I really wanted to reinforce sharing food behaviour between the two of them.) I was able to reward each animal whilst they both heeled. It was most amusing. B was rolling around laughing.

I am going with the flow today after mowing the yard yesterday in the hot sun. I returned the movies I had rented from the library, and she gave me instructions on how to get on-line to see their new arrivals and put them on hold.

I like mornings like this, where I can go with the flow and to have that balance as I go out and do my errands.

Might be silly, but leftover pasta from dinner last night for lunch! Oh so good and cooked by my love!

I cleaned up the mess in the garage and swept and took out the trash. Then I took a shower to get the dirt and dust off of me and the rest of the day is mine to enjoy.

That I have enough clarity and I feel relieved after therapy today that I recognize that I need to practice self care today.

I read in a trauma journal yesterday, that we can encourage ourselves. I am really jazzed about learning this new life skill. Practice, practice, practice.

That the thunderstorm missed the village where I live...

That my husband and I were able to run errands before he has to leave for his second job.
