Sunday:
I am the type of person who if given a tool I can learn how to use it and or apply it to my life. I find that with my workbook that it is giving me a lot of tools to work with though it will take time to heal I know I can get through it. Time I have noticed is what is key and that the small daily things equal great triumphs in the end.
Take today for instance. I mentioned to husband there was a 40% off sale going on at Fashion Bug and that today was the last day. I was desperately in need for some spring/summer clothes. Husband told me if I could handle it we should go. Without a thought I said “ok!” Thus we went and I managed to get several new really nice outfits for a great price. Not once was I nervous or did I have to breathe deeply to calm my anxiety. It was just done. From going in, to fitting room to checking out…all went well.
I know some may think that is utterly strange as they do all that without a thought. I had always wished to be “care free” like that. Today I was and for that I am proud of myself.
Tuesday:
Yesterday I received my books for my new class which starts May19th. I am very excited as it is coming to the part in the course where I really get to apply all that I am learning. I also received the package of different fabrics I ordered for a project I am doing. I still need to get a couple more things for it but this is a great start and the fabrics are wonderful!
All and all I have been ok- busy but ok!
I hope everyone is well!

Rea I certainly DO understand the victory you felt. Oh happy day. Really. Build on that. Note: I do not think Lily Tomlin coined that phrase but she did use it. Interesting about the tools and how you are learning to use them. A man has a tool box in which he has a screwdriver. He has a job of cutting down a tree. So he uses the only tools he has, the screwdriver and starts to chip away. It will take a long time but he will finally prevail and fell the tree. Than he has the same job but in the tool box he has a screwdriver and a small hatchet. He uses the hatchet and fells the tree much faster. With the same job assignment the man has in his tool box now, a screwdriver, small hatchet and a one man saw. He uses the hatchet to cut a wedge and the saw to finish off the job, much easier and faster. Same man, same job assignment. Now in his tool box he has a screwdriver, small hatchet, one man saw and a powerful chain saw. He uses the hatchet to cut a notch then the powerful chain saw and drops the tree in record time for him. With the one man saw he cut off the sharp barbs on the tree stump and with the screwdriver he tightened the chain on the chainsaw. Rea at this point you are probably wondering just what in the world does this mean to anything. Well, I'm not going to tell you. I will allow your unconscious part do it for you. :-)
