It was therapist day.....

I had started a posting this morning. But it disappeared. Probably find it someday. who know.
It has been a great day. Great therapy. Haven't seen her in a month, so we did a catch up session. Sharing with her the positive of the last few weeks. The response to my "Paint Party" was good, and teaching workshops at The Painted Turtle Studio, in Mancus. So, good to feel good, To know that I am putting into action what I am learning with the EMDR.
Got to speak to TJ and Em from The Art Project. They are doing great. We talked about the future, of how they are going forward. And that there may be an opportunity for another type of Art Project here in Cortez. I have my work cut out for me. Although most of the research and paperwork is done, just needs to be organized and then appointments made to present it. Oh,,,that is still scary for me. but I will giterdone. LOL
My new art friend Lacy is moving in 15 days, she has made a very positive impact on my life and recovery. She is a cancer survivor, a very brave and courageous young woman. We are very blessed to live in a world of the internet, so we can keep in touch that way. After all thats how we met. :)
Another reason its been a great day, I am a fan of Dirty Harry movies. And I found a place on line that I can watch for free. Don't ask me why I like them so much, maybe because I was bullied so much as a kid, as the eldest child, it was up to me to take up for my siblings. There was really no one to take up for me. Or maybe I just dig Clint Eastwood. :)
Tonight I leave you with these thoughts. Recovery is always in progress, whether forward or backward. But we always must keep working at it. I do not want that dark cloud of suicide thoughts to creep  back into my life. Thats hard work, relearning and breaking bad habits, bad thoughts. And I am going to share a link about depression and how art makes a difference.
