Sunday: Today I’m grateful for feelin’ good!

  • We got bronze in our volleyball tournament today! My team of five played 4.5 hours of volleyball (4 games (plus 1 forfeit)= 9 matches). My body feels used and abused yet incredible. I fucking love this sport. There were even gaps between the games to practice my serving during. I’m so happy to have rediscovered this sport last year. I feel like in a different life where I had more talent/began as a kid, I would have loved to be a professional athlete. To have my whole job be training for and playing a sport. 
  • It’s been raining a lot here, which is strange for this season but fantastic for the environment. Last year we had like 3 straight months of 100+ degrees and no rain. Rain does mean no beach volleyball or swimming, which I do miss, but I’d rather the land get some water. 
  • I’ve really only felt “positive” emotions, it’s just been a great day! I wonder if this is what days will feel like when I process the bulk of my trauma. I wonder what made today such a perfect day. Probably the volleyball + weekend + housework combo. Nothing being asked of me and a lot of physical activity. I’m grateful for having an uncomplicated, fulfilling day.
