Expecting A Miracle…

I have recently heard a “miracle” described as a “change in perception”.   My daily job as I deal with my Depression/Anxiety is to first question my perceptions and make sure that they reflect reality.

A typical problem for me is to acknowledge that I have done a nice thing for someone.  My usual reaction is to forget that it happened.  When people bring it to my attention I feel embarrassed.  It is as if I am missing that part of my personality that can appreciate myself and my actions.  The truth is that success makes me so anxious that I would rather not acknowledge it.

So I am officially acknowledging, with difficulty, that I am a good person who does good things both for myself and others.  This is my change in perspective and my “miracle”.
