.....thank you, they're beautiful!

It took me A LOT of time (weeks and weeks of thinking yes/no/yes/no/maybe) and a lot of courage (just giving them, not asking if it was ok to give them or anything), but it was soooo worth it!
Basically I said that because she gives me so much (in terms of therapy), that it felt only right to -for once- give something in return.

And it wasn't 'an issue', it was just perfectly fine. I feel so good! It has taken me nearly two years to be able to do this, but I know that I couldn't have done this before, because for the first time ever, I feel like an equal, not a sad client. Of course I am (a client), but I am also just another human being who is allowed to show her appreciation by giving a beautiful bouquet to someone who's help and presence she's grateful for.

Until this week I would have felt like I was 'buying' her sympathy or care with a gesture like this. Now I know I'm not. I already have and get it because of who I am, and the effort I put in.

It must sound silly, but I'm just over the moon! How I love Fridays!

I hope this topic isn't too random...I just needed to share.
