Affirmation

So after Stephanie left yesterday things finally started settling in to my reality. I cleaned the room and washed my clothes (first time by hand). I sat and decided it was finally time to read my affirmations. They had been stashed away until I needed them and I am not sure why I thought this was it. These were all letters from my fellow SLMs that we wrote to each other and I had decided to stash for later date. I had also added to them things people had written to me back home. It was really moving. I loved them and was so interesting to see how other perceives me. They also said a lot of things that I would never say about myself. Somehow they brought me back to the place I had been at the time when I said bye to them all. There assurance that I can not only do this but do it well made me happy and at peace and with new added strength to my purpose that only god knows is. It also reassured the fact that I not only have my family but I am part of a way bigger family that is the SLMs immediately and extends to the salesians as a whole. I keep this in mind as I connect to everyone in my household little by little...
