Oh yes, it has been awhile, right?! I didn’t mean to abandon you the past couple of months but wow, did things go a bit wonky.

Grow Through It

I never intended to miss posting the past two months … it just happened. The end of August / beginning of September I was out with a cold/flu combination. After not being sick for almost four years, it really knocked me on my butt. I could barely get my regular work done.

Then the end of September I went on vacation to the Pacific Northwest and well, was having so much fun I forgot to do the post. Uh oh!

But I’m back now and ready to go for December and taking stock of all the activities this past year. It’s been a busy one here with all the usual stuff. But a big difference this year was making the decision to start therapy again. Yup. I know people look down on therapy as being for “other people” but it is one of the healthiest activities you can do for yourself.

Being able to just talk out issues and ideas with someone unrelated to your everyday life is glorious. Someone with whom you can just deep sigh your way through all those deep seeded thoughts and emotions you’re unable to express to anyone else. Everyone has them, even those people with best friends and partners.

It’s really been a year for just growing through what I’ve been learning about myself and applying new lessons to how I express myself and interact with others. I will never be perfect and although I’ve always accepted and believed this rationally it was only this past year when I’ve allowed myself to accept and believe this emotionally. What a relief moment that was!

So as you head into the craziest month of the year just take a deep breath. Whatever happens, happens and there really is no score card for who is more perfect. Be you and just grow through whatever comes your way. There is always another second, another minute, another hour, another day there to support you.
