Marcine’s journaling forward

If by celebrating you mean taking a solo hike in the mountains and crying in the beautiful wilderness and recharging in nature— then yes!

I'd been veering towards stress and burn out. Good to ground out. It is a blessing to feel part of nature.

I did the same thing today, Marcine.  I had scheduled today off, and I had to renew my drivers license today first, but then I did go do the hike I wanted.  It was nice.  I hope your's was as well.

For sure, boundary keeping+connection is a set of skills that I'll be practicing for the rest of my life. And I agree with you, that's worthwhile. Even when it feels like a battlefield. A big difference is that now I'm standing for what is right and good, not fighting monsters on all sides just to survive anymore.

That resonates.

I'm glad you were able to take a hike and express your emotions out in nature.

Marcine I love how you describe standing for what's right and good, vs fighting off the bad. That's an important distinction in thriving, and not only surviving. Surviving is good, and, thriving has a different focus. We can choose what to focus on. I love that you are focused on standing for the things you believe in and value.
