Riding a wave

I haven't read it all yet little turtle - actually only the first line - and that was enough for me to want to fly around the world in warped speed shouting the great news to EVERYONE @Phoenix_Rising

I am so, so, so happy for you... (I know you will hate this image but I couldn't hold back I am so excited - so duck...)

Oh, that is super happy wonderfulness @Phoenix_Rising, I'm sooooooo happy for you.

I don't really *do* the water thing, but here are a few friends having fun near the ocean to celebrate with you.

Happy turtle .... @Phoenix_Rising 💕

Good morning to everyone on the ocean today.

Thank you for sharing my excitement about finding TTT @Former-Member @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @CheerBear. I SUPER like that picture of you being so excited @Zoe7, and I also SUPER like the picture of dinosaurs on the beach @Former-Member. It means a lot to me that you wandered down to the beach even though you generally don't do the water thing. Thank you.

The more I reflect on yesterday's session, the more amazing it seems. I don't feel that I can share everything about it because if I describe TTT's office in any more detail, I think that would make her too identifiable because the reality is that her office and her approach is very unusual - in a truly awesome way. Finally FINALLY I've found someone who truly understands that trauma isn't healed by changing your thinking or learning skills or medication. Finally I've found someone who really and truly gets it!!!

@CheerBear yep, it sounds like yesterday was a super big day for both of us in terms of both reflecting on the old, and enjoying something new. I can't remember, was yesterday important to you as the date or the day (I know it muddles you a bit that dates fall on different days each year)? I work by dates - i.e. I graduated on the 14th of December, 2015 (which was a Tuesday that year).

Your unicorn is AWESOME. She looks super soft and cuddly. I've decided that if I had a unicorn, I'd name her Onesie (cos, you know, she has one horn). However, I can imagine you now face-palming and saying "no, Phoenix_Rising, just no!!!"

Thank you for saying (and believing I'm awesome). Of course, the evidence here in the real world (most recently being dumped by my turtle whisperer) would suggest that your belief is misplaced. However, I super like that I can at least present as awesome in Forum Land.

By the way, I am SUPER excited that we seem to be getting some conversations happening in the DBT adventure. I super hope you aren't feeling frustrated by our amazingly slow process. I know I am probably MUCH more used to seeing things happen much more slowly than originally planned, than you may be. I'm in no rush at all, but I am a little worried that energizer bunny CheerBear may be struggling with turtle pace!

@CheerBear Giggle, I'm glad you only SEMI face palmed at onesie.

I'm super glad you are ok with turtle pace. It sounds like this is a good fit for your super busy time of the year anyway, since once I do eventually finish the mindfulness module (probably sometime in the year 2020!) I will be passing the DBT baton to you to do the DT module.

Thank you for telling me that you are going to be superly duperly busy over the next week or so. I will trust that when you are missing, it is because you are doing super fun stuff like packing up a classroom, rather than because you've been squished by a bus.

I definitely want to come to help pack up the classroom. Don't forget to put me in your bag!!!!

I hope your day was a calm one with some bright bits, @Phoenix_Rising. 🌷🐢
