This is some seriously demonic exorcism you're airing, and I can't help but know it's helping you and probably other people too. I love you so much.

Say it and not have it be hyperbole. Say it and have it be true. I'm a little sad for the me I used to be, that it was so hard to appreciate or even recognize that I was capable of good stuff... but better now, than never. I am an excellent, compassionate teacher.

An interesting blog about this: http://attack-laurel.livejournal.com/156092.html#cutid1 To me, self-celebration is a part of self praise; I'm not good at either one. At this point, it normally involves indulging in some sort of "bad" behavior (eating, drinking, smoking, etc). Crap, I think I need to work on this...
