I started this blog back in 2014... prior to that, I posted on my personal FB page... I've written about my journey - specifically in my piece dated 10/24/18 (timeline of progress), & 11/16/18 (my journey with anxiety & depression mixed in).
Some things I've realized recently -
1) I like getting out of the house -
& it's good for me
2) I don't love taking taxis, but
I'm more comfortable now, & taxis give me some level of independence
3) I want to be with people
4) I want to do something that feels
meaningful
5) My role as a mom is a forever
role, but also always changing.
6) I'll always be a musician at
heart, but I'm no longer connected to the world of music the way I once was.
7) I've become a really good listener,
& am also very empathic and compassionate.
I'm thinking about some kind of
volunteering - maybe at a local hospital, maybe a nursing home. I thought about this a few years ago, looked
at one application, & got overwhelmed.
I want to revisit this idea, which
means doing more than looking at an application. It means gathering info, trying, seeing if
something is workable. I want to think
about - perhaps write about - other
people (anonymously, of course, unless they chose otherwise). I know my
journey's not over, but I also know I want to expand my world, to the extent I
can.
Thankks great blog
