In my therapy sessions, we talk about achievable next steps. It’s often helpful when people think of these next steps as baby steps, especially when they are changing old patterns and habits.

Thanks to all who help me complete the steps for creating this daily blog, including YOU!
all about the baby steps!
We just took a little walk with our cherished rescue mutt, Ann. Ellie says hi!
One step at a time has gotten me through everything from complicated projects to walking down the hall when my back is killing me. Luckily, though, I’ve never had to do 12-steps. 🙂 My steps always have to be in multiples of 5. 🙂
I like a lot of jazz but right now I want to take a step back and reread James Baldwin’s “Sonny’s Blues”. It was the first thing that helped me really understand jazz as more than music: it’s being in the moment, expressing what you feel, and it’s cooperative. We need jazz.
We need people like James Baldwin and people like you, Chris.
Beautiful flowers and good books & tiny or big steps & jazz. All wonderful
Thank you, wonderful Maureen.
