((((Muffled))))
I got a quote for you:
"I've come to realize that the real growth of character takes place in the valleys of life"
-Dave Dravecky
[it's the quote this week in my little planner organizer thingie]
This is an opportunity to grow, or to descend into difficulty. I think you will be amazed at how strong you are. Toughie seems up for the challenge. But not everything NEEDS to be a challenge. Get up and go to pee. close the door and turn on the faucet if it makes you feel less vulnerable. Take a magazine. or just sing to yourself.
Remember that you're only human. You've grown attached to this wonderful woman. She's grown attached to her wonderful Muffled. She likes you, and she wants you to feel safe with her.
Part of you is scared. I know you are. But you are a strong muffled. You are a mommy, and you have a strong streak of practicality in you too. When you're feeling a little more practical and a little less emotional, take some time to set up your supports. I'll help you get started
1) your doctor- pdockery can help with crises if they may arise
2) your diet- comfort foods, and nourishing foods to help you feed your soul.
3) your family- spend some extra time with them, and allow your little ones to play with your inner kids
4) psycho-babble- use us for distraction, for venting, for helping us. Allow us to help you too
5) distraction tools- I've taken up knitting. I also like long walks in sub-freezing temperature to help me snap out of a dissociation
6) a book or maybe many books
7) a stack of DVD's you can watch with or without your children
8) your husband- let him know that this is going to be a little rough, and that his muffled is going to need some extra tender care.
9) emails and bmails. you're NOT gross. you're NOT going to gross us out. I think you're a very clever muffled, and your writing is very original and cool. If you want to, send me a babble-mail to remind me to check up on you if I don't hear from you every few days. I don't wanna seem like a nag, though
10) worship. find a calm place in your heart by going to a place of worship and embracing some new ideas. Often we find new meanings in old words when we find ourselves in one of the "valleys of life".
your friend, who hasn't yet been grossed out by your person, your actions, or your words.-Ll
