I finally told my daughter that I LOVE HER. I have said it many times in passing or at the door or at night time. But honestly, today, I looked into her eyes and told her that I loved her and that I meant it. I hugged her so hard. She was shocked and said thanks mom. Im sure completely confused by what has just happened. She knows that I struggle with hugs and affection toward her. Today I have had a calming over me. I wrote in my journal, I have done my "homework" from my retreat course, and Im just getting ready to go again for session 2 and then for the all weekend part of it. 6hrs lastnite, 6more tonight, then 12 sat and 12 more on sunday. Hense the reason I booked into the hotel.
And for those of you that have followed the dog saga.....I drove him to my brothers farm to day and like another member said, "he was happy as a clam" to be left there.
Thanks all for your support and I will have a whole report come sunday night or monday morning
Good for you for telling your daughter. I'm sure it meant a lot to her. Glad you're having a good time at the retreat. I have the feeling dog is enjoying is own "retreat" too. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Live strong, Karilynn
