expanding my bubble of safety |

My therapist and I joke about my bubble of safety - where I feel I can go safely by myself. Target and Kohls, my 2 favorite stores are just beyond my bubble. I have gone with friends (them driving and me driving), but not by myself.
I did it today - drove to Target. My car was in the shop, and a friend drove me to the dealership. I could turn right and go home, or left to Target. The traffic was totally clear...like the universe wanted me to go to Target! I turned left. My mind was racing, but I made it there. I walked in, telling myself that I was just looking...didn't even get a cart. I walked around the whole store. Even picked up a few things that I didn't need, but couldn't live without. I ate some Peeps in celebration as I drove home.
Now I want to plan my next outing!
