Sunday the 23

Today was good, I managed to get out of bed and outside to lay in the sun for an hour. I was able to open up just a bit more and talked to mom and felt like she was listening, and not just thinking of a reply. 

Having someone listen, like really listen is so validating. I want to be a better listener and contribute in positive ways. 

I went thru several pictures today from FAM trips, dad, mom and Brooke where all there it is was fun looking back at the year we have had teddy. Brooke asked to see some other pictures and it was wonderful to share, maybe that's why I feel so happy right now, we had an evening as a family.
