Though it\u2019s nice to have this creative space to do that, I realized it would be a good idea to try to balance that out. After all, for as much as I have to complain about, I have a lot to be grateful for. I recorded this episode on a whim and it ended up being one of my favorites of the season :)  If you\u2019re reading this, I invite you to pick a random number you see and come up with that many things you\u2019re grateful for or that made today even a smidge bit more lovely for you. Getting your hysterectomy soon? I recommend having little moments of \u201cwhat am I grateful for? What am I looking forward to?\u201d I mentioned finding out about the cost of the operation and you can check out that episode here: Walkie-Walk Around the Blockie-Block to Get Over the Shocky-Shock of the Cost of the Oppy-Op Anyone else grow up watching the movie \u201cJungle 2 Jungle\u201d and have a complicated relationship with the word \u201cobligation\u201d? Just me? Okie dokie! Another episode, another realization, another chance to say, \u201cAnd Also This\u201d in an attempt at Radical Acceptance. Note from Future-Emily: There\u2019s a part toward the end of this podcast where I think about what my Future Self would say while listening to Past Emily freaking out as much as I seem to do while recording these episodes, but as I write this (seven months post-op), I\u2019ve grown to have so much compassion and sympathy for Pre-Op Emily. The anxiety is nothing to downplay or call \u201cover-reacting\u201d because this surgery is\/was a pretty big deal. Additional Links and Resources: Links not working in your podcast player app?
