Hey, folks, happy evening to y'all. As are most of my days, today was a long day. That said, I did get some writing done, and writing days can never be all bad. It was also a therapy day, so believe you me when I say I burned through a lot of spoons.
TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)
1. I am grateful that this blog is forgiving. Same as my chores list and my calorie counting. Even my writing. I live by breaking things down into manageable chunks, and if a day is missed, tomorrow is always there. It's when I look too far ahead that things start to fall apart.
2. I am grateful for my wife. We didn't have a fight but we did have an unpleasant discussion. I don't know if we resolved our issues, but we did go over them, and I'd like to think that's a good first step. I'm grateful we can talk about hard topics without it devolving.
ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY
I'd rather not air my and my wife's dirty laundry on the internet for all to see. It's hard to admit we have disagreements (with my background fighting was the primary method of communicating) but it's inevitable, and I think that it went better than it could have. A lot better.
ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY
Once again, the blog is rolling out at the end of the day, when all the critical goings-on have already happened. I'm proudest, as I usually am, of getting any writing done, let alone some good writing. I'll get this TTRPG module done by hook or by crook.
WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND
One thing, I had therapy this morning (busy day) and found myself confronted by the interpersonal tools therapy has helped me replace with more healthy tools if that makes sense. Trauma or no, I was a real livewire back in the day, and doing my best was not always ... well, good.
My therapist laughed that I felt guilty about, "Realizing that you're improving and are better than you were before?" Which ... touche, good sir. Still. Hard to confront coping mechanisms that did as much damage as they helped. Who knows who I'd be if I'd learned all this back then?
