So, today I had my second therapist appointment. I think this go of therapy, at least so far, is going better than in the past. I told her right off that I hadn’t had success with it in the past and that I was looking for someone I “clicked” with. She expressed that she agreed that it was important and if we didn’t click, she could help me find someone that would work better.

But, I do like her. I feel like I can tell her anything and she gives me good support and feed back. I have an issue with just crying when talking about things that are difficult for me, so by the end of our sessions, my eyes and nose are sore and stay that way for the rest of the day.  This time I asked for an assignment, so my assignment for the week is to write down 25 things a day I’m thankful for, plus to do something for myself every day.  It’s to give me an anchor.  I know I have a lot to be thankful for…..25 a day seems like a lot to me, esp. some days. 😀  But I can do it!  Already started on my list for today.  Just to name a few, I’m thankful for music.  It makes me feel better just to listen to it.  I get sucked into the words and the beat and it lifts my spirit.  I’m also thankful for my friends and family who read my thoughts here and the responses I get.  It reminds me of how many people really do care.  I have a lot of loving friends and family and it really makes me thankful.

I’ve joined a few Bariatric Support Groups online.  Looking forward to making some new friends there for once I have my surgery.  I’ve made some really great friends from online groups in the past.  People I stay in touch with and who check in on me.  Even have met a few in person on my travels.

As I mentioned on Facebook, I started an interview with my Grandma Hornaday on Friday. I printed out some questions I had found online, to ask.  I set up the video camera and asked two questions.  She talked for about 45 mins, until I ran out of memory.  I need to invest in a bigger card. 🙂  My Grandma is really big into family history and has an excellent memory, so was more than happy to share!  She remembers the exact address of everywhere she has lived, ever!  I’ve done one interview with my Grandma Joan also, but need to set up another interview with her also.  I’m thinking it might be good to do an interview with her and her brother together.  So anyway, it was just the beginning of getting that family history down on video.  Should be an interesting project!

Well, that’s all I have for now.  Thanks for reading. 😀
