Short and sweet today

Because of the holidays my therapist and I didn’t see each other for 3 weeks. It was sooooo nice being back with her. As much as I’m learning to self-therapize a little, nothing beats an experienced and educated professional. I am learning to appreciate how the downs or absences make the ups much more noticeable. I am not a fan of bad days or a lack of therapy. But the contrast is meaningful. It reminds me that I have a lot to be grateful for and a lot of good happening in my life. We are quick to take things for granted and lose sight of the little joys and such. I think if I were really capable I could keep that awareness going without experiencing hardship, but that’s not my reality. So for now I rely on the rough times to show me how good the good times are.
