Went on another adventure with my father the other day and it was one of the best days ever. :)
Right when we left we saw a swarm of butterflies, probably the most I've ever seen at one time In Sedona!
So... I knew we were off to a good start synchronistically speaking.
We also saw some birds and cows and learned some very interesting things.
I'm so grateful for each opportunity like that I get and I've been finding myself being a lot more present and am enjoying the moment more than I used to.
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts I have been making progress with my OCD, though I'm also still struggling with it and... It's frustrating, but I'm glad to be improving a little bit!
I do feel like "exposure therapy" is helping in addition to other mental techniques, yet... Still not sure how to solve this fully. However, maybe if I just keep making a little progress here and there it will eventually add up!
I'm still overwhelmed and daunted with the future, though believing in myself much more and trying to grow and I feel more positive than ever in some ways!
I also feel like my value in terms of potentially meeting someone romantically has skyrocketed after learning how to love and forgive myself and others better and communicate better and I'm also working on my sense of humor and helping people to laugh more and more and... I dunno, I just feel like I'm finally sort of starting to evolve, bloom or "come together" in a sense...
If that is the case... It took long enough! Lol...
Yet... As I often say... Better late than never! And I've heard sometimes the late bloomers are quite beautiful. :)
It's time for a new level... Not going to excessively torture myself and treat myself like shit anymore like I used to, I love myself too much to do that anymore!
Going to keep working on myself and focus on being grateful and maybe one day I'll even meet someone else who wants to go on some epic adventures. :D I guess time will tell, peace and bye until next time. <3
PS... The pic included wasn't from yesterday, though it was from a recent adventure and I think it's quite dramatic and colorful. I sure have been treated to some lovely views lately and I'm very thankful... So glad to be out of that hospital bed and back out in nature exploring and continuing this quest. 🦋
Hey, that's a great story.
So wish you got a shot of the butterflies, bet that looked amazing.
I never got married till oooo, yeah I think I was 51, so plenty of time. In my opinion you have to be happy as nobody can make you happy they enhance your happiness.
Looking forward to more of your tales and photos my friend
Hey. Thanks! Glad it was appreciated. Woulda been cool to get a shot of the butterflies, though they were small and moving around a lot so it woulda been difficult unless maybe it was a video clip. And yeah, it did look amazing. :)
Oh? That's interesting, thanks for sharing your story. :) That's inspiring, gives me hope and I agree! It's important to be happy yourself first or else then you try to use the other for your happiness and that can cause problems.
Cool! I'm looking forward to sharing more as well. Cheers friend! <3
I haven't known you very long but I think you're very kind and pretty funny. 😸
The late blooming thing reminds me of Mulan (I grew up on the disney movies ok)

I didn't feel like an adult or that I had "come together" until last year. This year I have been trying to be kinder to myself.

Thanks for the nice words! Likewise, you're also very kind and pretty funny as well and I love the sentiments you shared in regard to late bloomers! I dunno about the "most", but... I do resonate with those kinds of thoughts.
Glad to hear you're working on being kinder to yourself! I think that's really important and I'm really grateful I was able to do similar! It's been life changing.
Thanks 💕 I like to think I'm pretty funny too 🤪👽😂
