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!

Very Late Sanguine Saturday!

Man, I can't believe I forgot to post a Sanguine Saturday post this week! It wasn't that I didn't want to, or didn't have a chance, I just never actually thought about it! I'm going to assume it's because I actually posted two other posts this week, and that of course threw out my equilibrium. ;)

My brain's quite fuzzy tonight as I managed to nearly give myself heatstroke earlier by walking too far on a very hot day with no water. I'm okay, but I'll have to forgive myself if I miss important successes from the past week!



Success Stories:
I'm still here!
I've been coping really well with looking after mum (although admittedly she needs much less than I had expected, and I've also had a lot more help than I expected).
I went to a scary appointment about my knee.
I asked someone for the money they owed me - and got it!
I told someone something that had been on my mind for a long time and confirmed that it doesn't change anything.



Gratitudes/Happy Things:
Giraffes.
Making plans for the future.
Music.
Amazing friends.
Soft toys.
Writing.
New games.
Skype.
QI.



Challenge and cheer-leading statements:
If the blind man can't tell he's only in a puddle, it's not his fault if he can't get out.
The butterfly does not make the caterpillar a lie.
I deserve to ask for things that are rightfully mine.
I don't have to be perfect to be valuable and loved.
Recovery is a rose.



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:
Jennifer of Magnificasti Mirabilia: created
Sairs of This Lunatic Express: Positive Monday
Morningmoon of I am *THAT* crazy: Tuesday's Child


Take care of yourselves until next time, and may we all find our own small fences along the way.
