I'm SO very glad you linked me to thi...Neysa!! I'm SO very glad you linked me to this delightful blog!! It was great reading this post, getting updated about everyone. <br /><br />(AND it was great reading previous posts--I skimmed a few from the first year, esp. enjoying the one about your family's various dogs. It was extra special for me since I'd occasionally heard about them from Emily.)<br /><br />I love your line about not apologizing for the amount/quality of tv you watch. I wonder when I'll get to that point--not needing to feel apologetic to others, or to myself, when it comes to... what should I call it? Self-indulgent choices? Or just, choosing to give myself room to be happy?<br /><br /> It's hard, because I don't want to waste ANYTHING--esp. not time. (Can you hear the recovering perfectionist in me struggling with this? :D)<br /><br /> In addition to psychological health I want to congratulate you on the healthier living accomplishments! Em told me awhile back that you'd decided to... I hope I'm getting this right... do more active stuff that you enjoy. I've been working on that, too, for the past several years. Having positive motivation--doing stuff I enjoy cuz it makes me feel good--really does seem to be far more motivating than the self-punishing route. Surprise surprise!<br /><br /><br /> Three final things:<br />*Neysa, thank you so much for that last lovely, lovely card you sent me affirming my work as a piano teacher/mentor. I kept it on the windowsill for months, ready to give me a little boost whenever I needed it.<br />*Emily: congrats on the kitty! I hope you're enjoying your classes. <br />*Neysa, Em, Melissa: I hope you will all continue to post! I love hearing your thoughts.<br /><br />Love,<br />Heidiheidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194614616594881998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730677814918199543.post-16272518857001540722011-09-11T08:04:51.480-07:002011-09-11T08:04:51.480-07:00David pointed out to me that I fail at math.
