ellienihonI am grateful:
1) that I got to experience being around a group of people I didn't know and feeling comfortable and enjoying myself.
2) that I can always trust certain friends to take things to the next level :D
3) to feel acknowledged and accepted by L's friends.
4) that L cares enough to ask important questions and to listen to the answers.
5) that I have made noticeable progress in the past 3 months.
6) that I had a really good therapy session today.
7) for all the opportunities I am getting to learn and grow, and the supportive environment to grow in.
8) for pats on the back.

31) for the courage to ask for what I want/need.
32) for kittens and puppies.
33) that I could stay and keep L company.
34) for a safe place to cry and the healing power of tears.

38) that I am talking more with my parents.
39) for walking outside and how my body feels when I exercise.
40) for a wonderful start to 2008!
I had a good day on December 31st, despite uncertainty about plans and arranging things a bit last minute. Spent time with L, went to a Korean market, made beans and cooked potstickers, and did some laundry. In the end, we went to O and B's house, after a lovely dinner (once everyone settled into the rather strange atmosphere-- Thai NYE celebration and us :) It was a great way to kick off the new year.
Intentions for the new year
The overall theme for this year is Stability. Everything that doesn't support my stability is something that I need to consider getting rid of. I need stability in order to work on myself. This takes priority over everything.
My only 'goal' is to clear up my credit. My parents are helping me with this, and it's resulted in more communication than we've had in a long time.
I will work towards having excellent self care. This has multiple facets, but the focus for now is on my spiritual well-being. I am meditating and will recommence studying Feri. I will also continue with Shakti health classes, and look into taking tea ceremony classes. Later in the year, I will go and get all of my physical check ups taken care of.
I will step into the leadership opportunities that are presenting themselves. This includes being more active with TNG, stepping up with the Women's Chorus, and moving forward at work.
I'm sure there will be other facets to this, but these are the main directions of growth that I can see right now.
