Baby Steps

I have lots of issues. I have had them for a long time, but try to keep them buried deep down. It's not a good thing, but it's the way I deal with things. This is the root of many of the problems in my life. The bad keeps trying to bubble up and I keep trying to push it back down. Well, the bubbles are not popping anymore. They are expanding to the point that there is no room for anything else. It's time to let them out and hope they might float away.

I went to a counselor today. It's something I should have done many years ago. It was hard to do, but I know that if I am going to ever be successful at anything at all in my life, marriage, parenting, and even competing in triathlons, I need to fix the inside. No matter what kind of physical shape I am in, if my emotional shape is crappy, it won't be good enough.

So, even though I didn't fix me today, I took the first step in trying to. That has to count for something, right?

That first step is always the hardest and the most important one. Stick with it, you've got people who care!
