taking care of me

Hi all. I wanted to share the difficulties and joy I am experiencing taking care of myself. I never realized how much I depended on others to "fix" things for me. I don't say this lightly, in the past year I have done the most, seemingly, mundane things...wait, I have learned to do things for me, that I could never have imagined at the beginning. First, it was the grocery store...huge step as odd as it sounds. Then, warming my own car up in the am. Then other "little" things...cooking dinner just for me, taking a spin
in class, reading...so many little things. I have miles to go but I have made it to a better place. I can do for me as I do for others. Why wouldn't I deserve the same care and respect? I'm amazed at my growth and I want those who are still in shock mode to know...you will get better too. Xoxo BtrflyGrl
