I have got to remember that every day is not going to be awful and every day is not going to be awesome .. LOL .. no matter what I can start my day over at my choosing.
If I can avoid eating people verbally when they find my last nerve .. priceless .. sigh.
Thanks for letting me share :)

I must write down.....avoid eating people verbally - I can use that one!!! I too thank you for sharing girl...for me, in the heat of the moment, I can forget I have choices - one of which is to just regroup and restart. (((Hugs)))

Oh this little gem of a statement....I needed to be reminded of this...I have had to "re-boot" my day over and over and over since DECEMBER, its been one thing after another but in the midst of the tornadoes I am finding joy because I just refuse to let the uncontrollable screw me up anymore then it has....I will be satisfied for a "draw" as far as the wanted vs the unwanted events....I keep saying, this will change if I change ME...so far, its fighting me to the bitter end, but I just try and rock on and its good to be back here for the wonderful support I get here.............PEACE
((((((((Jerry))))))) I'm not sure about re-incarnation like my sponsor/best friend in teh world is, but if there IS a past life, I bet in your past life , you were the beautiful rainbow at the end of all the storms.....I feel your love and kindness vibrate all the way from HI to TX....Mahalo Hoaloha (hope I got this right)
Proud of you sister...You find respect and love to share with one from his own culture. Hoaloha it is...ho`omaika`i (blessings). In my past life...my HP has given me some indications of that history thru the understanding of unconsciousness or that part of me which operates beneath my conscious system. I have come to understand that it is because I've practiced it long before my pick and choose (conscious) behaviors came about. That is the "automatic" part of my life which often I trust more than my thinker. I am nurturing it more on a daily basis and trusting it also and I like the consequences.
I just witnessed a metaphor of being agreeable some minutes ago that I have not witnessed before and certainly not in my life affected by alcoholism and drug addiction. I know my HP set this up because HP love to cause me to smile.
Just outside of my window at this computer I saw two sparrows hovering together facing each other just inches apart and it took my breath away as I witnessed the example of mutual love and respect and intention. Mahalo Akua...thank you God.
Then I came here and read your post just after. ((((mamalioness))))
