Day 23 of 108 days of journey challenge to Intensely Appreciate life.

What do I intensely appreciate today?

Maybe I am going to regret sharing this, but today I intensely appreciate the fact that the cleaner comes to help me put the house in order.

Today I didn’t help her at all… I left to have a coffee in the sun.

I needed a break, and I gave one to myself. Yippie!

Maybe there is hope for me to learn to surf more than labor.

I also intensely appreciate my friend that dropped by with beautiful orange flowers and shared with my soup and conversation.

Working today was not so productive, but for a good reason. I needed to fill up the emotional holes of the last days, in talking, and doing fun things with my daughter.

I intensely appreciate the special learning we receive about how to cope with a raising a teen NLD child.

Today, more then before, I have hope.

I INTENSELY APPRECIATE education, communication, a new beginning, acceptance, allowing peace to come in and forgiveness.

Even though I know that maybe tomorrow we are going to be again on the merry go round.

Tonight, I am so grateful for the hope, for peace.

What do I need to Intensely Accept about today?

I intensely accept the fact that not so many of my friends and family know how hard it has being to raise my girl.

I accept my shortcomings.

I accept the limitations that come with this disorder.

I accept, that I am only at the beginning of a long journey to accepting it all.

I accept I need time.

I accept I need to care for me too.

Am I intensely honest about who I am and am I loyal to myself?

I am so honest in this blog, that I hope only kind people will ever read it.

As I wrote a few days ago. I feel the need to change this fourth question of this journey challenge. The new question is:

What have I learned today?

I have learned to talk to the tree outside my bedroom window and be humble enough to take it’s advice to my heart.

It was unusual fun.

The Questions of this Journey challenge are

What do I intensely appreciate today?

What do I need to Intensely Accept about today?

Am I intensely honest about who I am and am I loyal to myself?

What have I learned today?
