Not Just Venom
Jan. 4th, 2013 09:33 amSo I went to my first only-me counselling appointment yesterday. It was pretty good, actually; I think I've chosen the right person. Managed to keep from getting bogged down in only negative stuff and a kind of general 'needs to change' huge impossible wall and one of the things she asked was, what had I enjoyed doing in the last week. I'd had to reach back further than a week when put on the spot like that, but I figured I'd compile a list of things I enjoy here for my own reference.
-Seeing the first flowers on any of my african violets I'd raised from leaves.
-Playing with baby rats.
-Talking with a selection of friends one-on-one with little time constraint; people who are honest about their humanity.
-Learning to knit.
-Acquiring brewing stuff.
-Buying pears and blue cheese and eating them.
-Seeing the mist roll up the river.
-Smelling the air at point grey, where it smells green, and going searching for and documenting white oak trees as an acorn source (and incidentally scouting out an unharvested apple tree and considering dropping them a fruit tree project card)
-Deciding spontaneously to go for a walk with Andrew in the sun.
-Reaching out to Kynnin for hangout time (we haven't hung out yet, but the act of reaching felt good).
-Having the rat room clean (this feels good nearly every time it happens)
-Reading about new and interesting people on okcupid.
-Climbing.
It's not a very long list as yet, but it's enough. :)
