I am happy that I awoke happy this morning, at 8 am, after having gone to bed upset and triggered by trauma memories and a difficult interaction. I had just bought the first bottle of Melatonin in ages the other day, and I had one before bed, and slept like a baby straight through the night. For most of my life, I had horrible nightmares EVERY night, but I did the appropriate therapies, and the introspective work such therapies require, and I am very much healed and beyond that now. Still, any close brush with similar, unresolved issues in others can elicit fresh concerns, but happily, that did not happen last night. I had an awesome dream, slept very deeply, and I sprung out of bed an hour ago, joyful, and ready to work...
Life can be all it is cracked up to be. But we do have to do the work, and apply known principles, be courageously honest with ourselves, and be diligent in attending to our self-care and emotional needs.
Lovely day to be alive!!
