month of gratitude #18

Today I am grateful for the courage to stand up for myself and to articulate what I want. Those who know me may not believe that this is a challenge for me ever, but it often is. Many times I just let things go by until it builds up and then I just blurt out my thoughts in an unkind manner. This rarely brings me the results I am looking for, and is why I would probably not be accused of holding back what I am thinking. Truth is - I often do, and most people don't take the time or effort to dig deep enough to see the inner truth. I can certainly be very closed.

Today however, I was able to clearly ask for what I want, and I am going to get it. That is a big thing, and I am thankful for it!
