Growth

I refuse to grow out of spite anymore. I will grow with all of my baggage. I will let it cause me pain, and feel it completely through. Then I will take it and rebuild myself using it.

My pain and my sorrows are what have made me who I am just as much as my successes and bliss.

Another journal post

Today was a really good day. It was the last day of my spring break, and now I go back to work tomorrow. I don't really have much prepared, but I'm sure it will be an easy day and I will get back into the flow of things easily.

Today I woke up and had a conversation with my step son about anger. It felt good to be able to help him feel capable in feeling tough emotions and not hurting others with them.

We spent the rest of the morning cleaning the boys' rooms and it took a good chunk of time. SS's room was t-r-a-s-h-e-d. Needed a deep cleaning and reorganizing for a while. We got it done after cleaning my son's room and then rewarded them with going to BK for lunch.

After that, the boys went for relax time and I got ready for yoga. My husband began to feel the effects of nicotine withdrawal as soon as I left.

Yoga was fantastic today. I really got a good sweat going, I was able to do most of the binds that were offered, and even managed to flip my down dog pose over, which I have never done before. So cool, and felt so rewarding.

After yoga, I decided to go for a walk in the forest, but I was craving some connection, so I invited my grandma. We walked in the forest and we had a really fulfilling conversation about judgement and values and spirituality. It felt so good to be able to talk to her like that for the first time in a long time.

Once I got home, I read a few chapters of my son's new Paw Patrol book to him. He kept asking for more, so I ended up reading maybe 3 different chapters to him.

Now I am waiting for my earl gray tea to brew while typing this and watching my son play on the TV. It's been a great one, and I have a lot to be grateful for.
