Today I feel good--it's been a very healing day for me. I didn't do anything really special, just rested and took care of myself. I had fun making a list of things I can do this summer that will help to empower me and hopefully allow me to recover and grow. I've also decided to balance all the negative emotions I've been getting out through art (there are a lot of those!) with a word of the day to get me through until the end of the school year. I looked up a bunch of words and am going to pick one, paint it, and make it my slogan for the day. My first word is for tomorrow: survivor. My positive spin on all this crap that's going on: if it never happened, I wouldn't have known how strong I am and I wouldn't be able to grow as much as I'm going to. Don't get me wrong--I don't think this stuff HAD to happen in order to make me grow--but it's a much better way to look at it all than to wallow in 'why me' land. I'm glad that the summer is close--let the healing begin!
