This blog is part of my recovery, and I would like it to remain a safe place for me to share parts of myself and my life that people close to me may or may not know. As a result, while I'm not going crazy with privacy settings, I do ask that if you find this on your own and suspect you may know me, please respect my privacy by checking with us before reading any further. This obviously doesn't apply if one of us has given you the link!

Sanguine (Sun)day!

Goodness, it's hot. Normally I am very happy in the heat, but this year it's really knocking me around. Not sure what's up with that - though I suspect having heat rash (to go with my allergy and stress rashes!) isn't helping. That's okay, despite the discomfort I'm still liking the warmth.

Apologies for how very late this Sanguine Saturday post is -- I was away for a few days last week, which knocked out my rhythm pretty thoroughly, and my mother went into hospital this afternoon for her surgery tomorrow. I may be a little absent over the next few weeks, depending how things go.



Success Stories:
I faced down my fear to show something to someone - and they really liked it!
I put my foot down on a few things I WON'T do while mum's recovering from surgery (my brother can do his own damned ironing, thankyouverymuch).
I'm still here.



Gratitudes/things that make me happy:
Giraffes
Household chores (yes, really).
Skype.
My friends.
Music and singing.
Cool washers! (Face/wash cloths)



Challenge and cheer-leading statements:
I am not my family, and I don't have to be what they want me to be, either.
Being cared about is not dependent on being perfect. The people that really care about me will do so even if I mess up.
It's okay to accept a compliment.



Shoot me the link if you post up any version of Sanguine Saturday (any day, any format, as long as it's positive-focused!) and don't forget to check out this week's list of Sanguine Saturday versions:
