I am really looking forward to my session today. It has been a very long time since I have felt this kind of positivity about therapy. I feel enthusiastic, motivated, creative, interested, warm. She's my second therapist since my original therapist abandoned the work and I am hopeful about her, the new work, and the relationship. We have been working together about six months. She is very smart and is a well known figure in her field. I can see that her reputation is well founded. It's reassuring.
Of course, there is the risk that I will lose sight of all of this when she pisses me off or my avoidant parts take over, but for now I am up for the contact. Is this the honeymoon period? |

Well it's encouraging to hear that you're feeling hopeful and engaged in the therapeutic process, and it's important to continue nurturing this positive momentum while also being mindful of potential obstacles .

I guess I'm getting a little too outspoken in my old age. I just said some stuff out loud in a team meeting that I probably should have kept to myself. Oh well. It turns out I wasn't the only one thinking it, at least.
I do not belong in "corporate america". |

I drafted a letter of complaint for my youngest sister to send to her landlord. Since she’s moved In there’s been constant building work in the house- which were originally promised to be over by December.
She called me tears, I booked a hotel room for her to stay the night as she has exams. She was also just upset at putting up with it for so long. Told her that she does actually have rights as a tenant as outlined in UK regulations. My own garden singing accordion group is back, they didn’t bother me as much today. I’m just grateful I’m not living in a tent. __________________ "Love, like life, flows Through the heart. Feel the thrill of the flow And say nothing."

We have a plan for my sister. She’s going back to London today- stay with our parents, join a female only wework equivalent for a month. Travel back on exam days. No exams in July.
Whilst still paying in excess of £750 a month in rent for her current place. Thankfully her current contract ends in August, and she didn’t sign the extension for next year. There’s an 11 year gap between us, but I was honestly surprised by how dysregulated she was. (I know I used to be very unstable- but don’t feel therapy that taught me how to cope with distress, but it was the regular massages that helped more in getting back in my body). __________________ "Love, like life, flows Through the heart.

My vacation next week couldn't be at a better time! I am quite fed up with stuff at work right now and am quickly slipping into the "I don't give a **** about any of this" attitude! I'm working only 2 days next week then on vacation through the 12th. Woohoo! I have also scheduled a 4-day weekend over the Memorial Day holiday, and then another 4-day weekend in early June. And a 3-day weekend at the end of June. I am going to be so very ready to retire from this corporate ******** in a little over 3 years. If I last that long without quitting. Ugh. I'm too old for this **** even at almost-62.

Are there any work adjustments that could help alleviate some of the stress in terms of the hours you work or the number of shifts? State pension age in the uk is 68. Might not be for everyone,but lots of people do downsize their homes. __________________ "Love, like life, flows Through the heart. Feel the thrill of the flow And say nothing."
