Thankful

Today, I took a step back and realized that it has been almost a year since I have been in Psychotherapy. I am thankful for this forum as I move along through my mental health awareness and freedom. We are only given one life, one chance to get it right, someone once explained to me in a support group setting, and if we do it right they say, once is enough. Therapy was very beneficial for me as I sought to overcome some traumatic and stressful incidences that occurred in my life. Today, is a new day, and as I inhale and exhale that my body is filled with gratitude, and I am thankful.

I don't know about 'right' but we have one life and it goes too fast. Therapy helps so much in our quest to live life fully!

I am thankful for this site too in many ways. I can get it right if I just try a little harder. I know I can.

I am thankful for all the amazing things that have occurred in my life. Sooooo many of them happened because I took some gigantic leaps of faith in therapy.

Sometimes they worked out, sometime they didn't.

The ones that worked were amazing, but you know what?

Even the ones that didn't were beneficial. They showed me that, even when I'm disappointed or angry, I could handle it.

I didn't have to trash the whole thing, let my feelings consume me.

I *could* chose how to react.

Awesome. I'm grateful for the whole thing. Good, bad, amazing, and awful.

Thanks for your post!
