Who made me upset?


I could blame other people. (Wrong)


I know it is my emotion and how I react is why I get upset. (and upset is covering fear)


I choose to be with people who's behavior is not acceptable to me. (I own this one)


I have to choose not to be near those people. ( I need to own this one)


I am slowly learning. (really slow sometimes)


I am greatful what I have learned from this test in my life.


I love I statements. ( I own them)


I need to take responsibility for making me happy.


I can't blame the disease. I have been here too long.


I am going to be happy. I deserve it.


Just had to post.


Have a great day............................

Those are words that I needed to hear today.  How easily it is to blame someone else for our unhappiness.  Thanks for putting things back in check for me.

Thanks.  I need someone to smack a little sense into me every now and then (smile).


My brain keeps telling me to disconnect from my A husband, but I can't seem to shut my big mouth.  I need to I need to change my mantra of "he will never recover" to "give it up...it's up to me to change my life."
