WTG Lilly. Sometimes those battles with our AV are tough. The hard part was, at first, I was emotionally drained afterwards. After a few more battles, I started feeling energized and proud of myself afterwards. Had a spring to my step and a smile! That was my breakthrough.
Now I know I'll be HAPPY afterwards. Not only that, but I found myself learning from each one and better equipped for the next.
Looking back, it all happened fast. Didn't seem like it at the time, I'll admit that. But man...you just wait!!
