Happy Thankful Thursday everyone! I wanted to make a quick shout out to my niece (younger cousin), Jaden! Today is her 10th birthday, and I cannot contain my emotions. It feels like just yesterday my little consentida was in diapers! i just can't right now. Haha, now, onto the things I am thankful for: Last week, I wrote a poem and sent it to my group of trusted friends (aka the Xingonas) to critique. I sent this poem with hesitation that it wasn't good enough, and to my surprise, they all loved it. I'm extremely grateful for these women. They are honest and provided amazing feedback. They have supported me in my journey as a writer and blogger. Thank you Diana, Lidia, Aubrey, and Gaby! You all are the real MVPs! I posted this poem onto A Better Me a few days ago, so please check it out! Second I've recently changed how I eat. I've been incorporating a lot more protein, vegetables, and overall healthier foods. I've also been exercising daily. I've been trying to walk 10,000 steps a day and go to the gym 4x per week. And I have noticed my mental health has taken a turn for the better. All this self care has done wonders for me. I hope this change in my mental state continues, and hey, maybe I'll lose a few pounds along the way. With that being said, the last thing I'm thankful for is, my therapist and I talked last week and said she feels I'm ready for discharge. She did remind me she is not forcing it, but she feels I've grown so much in the past year and a half and I've met all of my goals. So, if I don't have anything else to work on we can proceed with discharge. She did give me 30 days to see how things go and if I figure something out to work on, I need to schedule an appointment and we will continue. But, if I don't figure something out within the 30 days we will schedule an appointment and fill out the paperwork for discharge. Maybe this new state of mind will continue and I won't need therapy. Only time will tell.
What are you all thankful for? Let me know in the comments!
