Boundaries feel selfish but are actually generous. They prevent resentment towards others.

Today I’m talking about birthdays and graduation anniversaries in fractions of a century. I graduated vet school on my 25th birthday. I started out scared to death and now I’m starting to think about retirement and selling my practice to someone who will let me work just the weekends for a while. It’s been a crazy journey and seeing notes like this that are truly bizarre to normal people and perfectly normal to me really bring it home. Sonny’s, Cannoli cake, and Cytopoint for Penny (my dog-sister). There are worse ways to spend my 50th 💙

Also maybe we don’t need to change everything about ourselves. Maybe our new habit can be kindness to ourselves, encouraging ourselves, and patience with ourselves. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This made me LOL this morning. It perfectly captures how ridiculous anxiety can be. Like heartburn, people don’t really understand how difficult it can be until they’ve experienced it. Had a pregnant friend apologize profusely for thinking I was being dramatic about heartburn. It was so validating. My husband was up all night with anxiety ONCE. He wanted to know how I live like this.

Cats have always been some of my favorite teachers. What have you learned from cats?

Me. I’m the child. Tell ME. Also this is good for all emotions. I use it for both anger and anxiety. I also ask where I’m feeling it in my body. It’s so useful to be curious - it lets the calm back in.
