Weekend of self care and family care

I spent the weekend traveling with the family for a city festival in Staunton, VA. We had a great time over the two days and spent the night at a wonderful Air B&B. I was calm and focused and jumped in to help and serve the family as needed. They all said they had a good time.

This is different for me as I used to be so anxious about a trip on the past that I would overreact, lash out, not be focused, and just be like one of the kids on the trip.

This time, I took care of things like planning, logistics, lodging preps, schedule, and empathy toward my wife and family if they needed something...without being asked. When I was asked, I was quick to serve. Damn, I felt so healthy!

So yay meds and therapy!

I also got some me time to explore my next level of naturism that I want to experience. I was able to exlore this more this weekend at the cabin because it was secluded. It was freeing and I felt like I was autonomous and expressive!

This is good for me and I hope because of the meds to continue balancing being present for those around me but also focused on my own exploration and self care.
