I was supposed to post this last night and I forgot! My goodness!

1. My therapist thinks we've progressed to the point where I can meet with her every other week. I'm not sure how I feel about that but I do know it's a positive sign that I'm not in crisis mode right now!

2. I wrote a letter to my uncle asking a couple of questions about family background and history. I felt strong enough to reach out and try to learn more about our family's dynamics.

3. In the same vein, I emailed a cousin who actually lives about 45 minutes from here and asked if we could get together for a coffee. I think it's about time to move closer to the family.

4. Daydreaming about a vacation in Ocean City, Maryland with my cousins, their spouses, my brother, TB and me made me feel excited and hopeful. I have so many good memories of those vacations (when I was a teenager/young adult). I think we'd have a great time!

5. I felt as if I could focus better and get more things done from my "to-do" list. It's a really happy feeling, one of accomplishment.
