MORNING!!!! I don't know what happened to me today that is giving me the ability to do what I have been doing but it is great. Yesterday I started reading a book that I got from the library called Healing with Nature and it is written by a therapist who due to a back injury had to either walk with clients or give up her practice. It goes on and on about the benefits and how it helped her and her clients. Kara doesn't believe in inner child work and that isn't how she was trained and so yesterday I called and left her a voice mail asking when the weather is nicer if we could start walking during our sessions. I will find out on Friday what she thinks. I mean who says therapy has to be done in an office? This morning I got up at 8:30 and started seperating the laundry to be washed. Tuesday is our laundry day. We get to use our landlord's machine for free. Irv was in shock when he saw me doing it because he always does the laundry. I do it few and far between. He fixed breakfast of pancakes while I was doing the laundry and I did the dishes. Another shock as the same with laundry I do it few and far between. Then while the laundry was going I ran to Wal-Mart and Osco and did our grocery shopping by myself. Which is a rarity too because I almost always take Irv with me cause I am scared to go to stores by myself. I came home and Irv said the library called and they got tapes in for me so I came here and decided to drop you all a line.Yesterday I went to a library in a town by us and borrowed some tapes from them including two cartoons that I loved when I was a kid,I don't know maybe I am finally starting to heal. Anyway, I am going home got things to do and by the way Irv and played games yesterday for like 3 hours. It was fun! It was nice doing things with him. Being home is nice too. Talk to you all soon. Love and Hugs Andrea
