How can one celebrate accomplishments when all one can think about are one's failures? Also, one person's accomplishments are nothing to a different person. Like, I can make really tasty gravy. I just can. I'm not bragging, it's just a fact. Like, Adele can sing well. Just a fact. So, for my sister-on-law, who claims to be not able to make gravy, for her to make yummy, rich, delicious, smooth gravy is a real accomplishment!
For me, getting outside is huge. HUGE. Even to check the mail. Gardening is a real chore, because I'm so far outside. Grocery shopping is torture and malls are horrifying. It really sucks. I understand this discomfort comes from a sense of being not in control. I'm learning that I really like being in control and sometimes think I have more control than I do. I need to learn how to accept, embrace even, NOT being in control.
... there's no place I'd rather be.

Hi Sis,
Today I broke a vacuum, dented a floor, and have put off piano practice for a 4th day. My greatest accomplishment today was catching a green light that has always caught me as a red light. I cheer that small victory!
Love,
Sis
I am so glad you had that green light! Sometimes that all we get in a day - a small victory.
Love you bunches,
Sis (back at cha!)
