a different me

I received a call from a friend yesterday telling me that i was on her mind and on my heart because of the way i was last year.  She just wanted to tell me she had been thinking about me and all that i had been through - that was so nice and unexpected.  I told her that i am amazed at what i different person i am now - it seems so long ago...  but at the time i thought i would never live through it.  It was so painful...  thank God i was brave enough to tell someone i needed help again!  Thank you me!  Had therapy yesterday and she says i am getting more assertive in my feelings and asking for what i need - she wants me to keep it up.  Still work to do - i thought last time i had graduated from every 2 wks to every 4 wks but not this time - and so she wants to see me again in 2 weeks :(  oh well whatever it takes.  I guess it could be a never ending process of fixing yourself! Thank God for insurance b/c she's getting her money's worth!
