I am unused to the following situations and feelings:

- contentment
- blessing
- satisfaction
- compliments
- receiving
- self-discipline
- graciousness, given and received
- letting go of judgment
- abundance
- simple affection

and yet they are all becoming so important to me these days.

People are usually a bit taken aback when I say that I am insecure or uncertain. I project confidence, I suppose, which is good. I also feel I am a bit of a steamroller, for good or ill, depending on the day, time and mood.

Looking to open myself, to accept good, to sit with all of this and say ah, yes. This is mine.
