This word has such a different meaning as an adult vs back when I was a teenager
(yes I did get grounded occasionally) :)
When I think about where I am at these days, this word sneaks into my thoughts...
Feeling in a good place.
Feeling good about who I am
feeling good about where I am headed.
Feeling more confident and HEALTHY!
Feeling at peace
feeling calm
my body is no longer so completely exhausted from fighting so hard to stay above water.
My breathing has gone from quick survival breathes to deep relaxed breathes- ahhh
my mind is slowing from a race to a brisk walk- I am actually remember things :)
Food tastes good again- hence the weight gain :)
I am taking better care of myself
(have a long way to go but... baby steps....)
feeling happier
letting go.......
sinking those feet deep into the sand.
feeling.....
GROUNDED!
