Thanks Byz. Another good day. The group is very happy with the work I have been doing with them. They showered me with all kinds of compliments and praises so I am riding high. Feeling pretty tired but its a good tired. Taking a little time away from the group and the crowds in the hotel to rest up in my room before dinner. I will do a bit of prep for tomorrow's final session and then maybe join them all again around a big screen at th MGM to watch the big hockey game tonight. I will see how long I last amid all the noise and energy but it could be a lot of fun if I don't get panicky.
Tomorrow will be a short day finishing up the work and winding up the retreat. Then the rest of the week is free time until we head home on Friday. Some are planning to go to a show tommorrow night and a trip to the canyon and Hover Dame on Thursday. I am not sure I am up for joining them for any of that but I am not letting myself justify an automatic pass either. I will try to stretch my safety boundaries to at least consider making the excursion with them.
All and all I am doing better than I was when I first arrived and I am proud of myself for not giving into all of my fears or over compensating for my hypersensitivity to things. I am less triggered as I become more accustom to these surroundings. Nor am I beating myself up for being so high maintenance amid a group of people who are so carefree and naturally sociable. I am being okay with me as I am. That's pretty good for me.
That's my update for today. I am doing better than I had expected I would and I am consciously not anticipating something coming along to upset the balance. I am just trying to stay in the groove and go with the flow while being careful not to overdo or conversely not to exclude myself because of fear of the unknown. Its all good.
It is wonderful to know how much support I feel knowing I can come here and debrief among folks who get why this is a challenge for me to do. Knowing you can join in my celebration of overcoming enough to join the land of the living. cool.
Yes indeed Byz.... DooRahs for me!!! lol
