Thank goodness for friends - I am thankful every day for my friends. Just in the last week, I've been starting to get anxiety thinking about all the upcoming changes and events, and fearing the possibility of what can go wrong (so my counselor says)...even though I categorize it as just thinking of all the tasks that lie ahead.
I had fear in mulling over the logistics of a new all day kindergarten schedule, twins in daycare, 3 days of therapy sessions, and fitting in a full time job. Just thinking about how I'd feed the eldest breakfast in the morning was giving me a fast heart beat.
Hanging with my friends brings me peace, it helps me realize that I'm not the only one going through this stuff and that makes everything in life easier to handle. One thing we were discussing is how a situation, no matter how hard it may seem, could always be worse. We had a wonderful conversation about books, international films, dealing with life: how we want it to be compared to how it is turning out, and just laughing about everything else.
Since our night out, I've been thinking that my situation is not so terrible. Every morning I'm finding myself thankful that there are no surprises in my mixing bowl - it's empty (thank goodness). My life is good & I'll get through this change. Let's face it, no one likes change. Change is scary and uncomfortable. Change is unknown. But the change will come and go and I'll survive, then I'll laugh about it with my friends.
