My Thoughts on a New Counselor and My fears

Well I am trying out the new layout for blogger and it seems to be much nicer then the old one. I have been learning over the past couple of years that change can be a good thing. I have been going to see the same counselor for about 2 1/2 years. For reason, I do not know, he left and I was placed with a new counselor. My new counselor is now moving on to better things so once again I will get another new counselor. Through it all from one to the next I have learn that change can be a good thing. 

I use to hate change. I would stay at home and never do anything out or my norm. I have been getting better at not being afraid of change and learning to embrace it with a happy outlook. I have seen that each counselor had their own things to teach me and own knacks for getting to the point I am now. I am looking forward to this new counselor and what all she can help me with. I have already met her because she helps run the weekly group I go too.

 One day I may be able to walk out my front door with no fears at all, that day for me will be awesome. I look back on how I use to be. I could not even sit on my front porch with out being afraid. I can now walk out the door and down the street. I can get on a bus and go all over town. I can sit next to a stranger on the bus and not be afraid they will harm me. I still have those fears from time to time but they don't stop me like they use too. 

My growing faith in the Lord has helped me greatly. Knowing, in my heart,  that He always looks out for me has been a major part in over coming my fears.Each day is a new challenge and a challenge I am now learning I can over come.

Poem

My son had an assignment in school that required him to write 9 poems for class. He asked me to read them sometime and when I did I got a wonderful surprise. He wrote one of the poems about me. I just have to share it. He did a wonderful job on it.


MOM
My mom is cool
She swims in a pool
She loves me so
At least I think so
Just kidding she loves me
She loves me with glee
She always makes me happy
Even when she’s all sappy
She always knows what to say
She always says it on the right day
My mom is the very best
Even though she doesn’t wear a vest
She always knew what to do
Even when I was two
Even though she may be old
She’s still good as gold
I love my mom
She is the bomb

Another Night at Group

I went to another group meeting last night.I had a very good time. We made collages of who we are. I want to post mine and explain it so I can come back and see it and remember this good group meeting.

My Collage

The adult with a kid inside him is how I feel about myself. I always feel that I am a scared little kid inside and adult body. I chose a Gecko because I love frogs and I couldn't find a frog in the magazines so I figured he would do...lol. Plus he is a cute little guy. This is a picture of pumpkin bread. Those who know me know that I bake a lot of pumpkin bread. Coolaid is my nick name. My brother gave me this name after seeing me in a bright red shirt. He said I looked like the Koolaid man...lol.

I have had the name ever since. This is a picture of potatoes. I love potatoes. I Love potato soup, baked potatoes, fried potatoes, tater tots, french fries, hash browns. If it is made with potatoes I would eat it. I love kids. I use to watch kids and I miss it. Kids can be so much fun to be around. They keep you on your toes..lol This shows some pictures and a camera because I love to take pictures. I am told all the time that I take to many pictures but I cant help it, I like doing it. These next two pictures are of the beach and a light house. I took a trip to Myrtle Beach South Carolina two years ago. I loved it there and I had a great time. I got to see a light house up close and it is one of my greatest memories of going. This picture is a guy in a costume. My friends like to cox me into putting on funny hats. I dress up for Halloween and once my friends put a jack-o-lantern face on my T-shirt and I walked around all day with it on. The Blue and white clock was the only thing I could find that was blue and white. I love to collect blue and white things.

They are so beautiful. This last one is of a smiley face. I love to smile. This is pretty much what I could come up with in that short little bit if time in group.
