Thanks Debb - perfect timing....as my feelings are hurt a bit. I know it's 'me' as I woke up a bit restless, irritable and discontent. We are all a bit stressed over the baby that's due today and of course - he will arrive when he's ready! I was asked to give up playing ball today just in case and then learned that my g-son is hanging with the other g-ma today (darn it....could have played ball!!!) - *sigh*
So, when things go different than I thought, it can bring up for me those 'feelings' of ... you always do this to me - I changed my plans for nothing - yadayadayada.....So - I've been a bit low today feeling I am on the outside looking in.
I went to a meeting and made myself hug 10 people (not my favorite thing to do). I came home and cooked breakfast and made potato soup for dinner and then took a nap.
I walked my sweet dog once and might go again! Who knows....
I thank you for your service and for reminding me that I can choose each day how to feel and what to do with it. I'm going to start my day over now, and see if I can change it up a bit!!!
(((Hugs)))

Awww IAM, sorry you are having an irritable day today and hope it is getting better. We all have them, I had a few this past week at work and at home. Just the routine stuff, but when I am tired and stressed it takes a bit more of Al-anon readings to keep me on track. Pretty soon you will be a grandmother!! How exciting!!

Thanks girl - still on baby wait/watch!!! I slept good last night though for the most part. The sun is shining and it's a new day!
Many many things to be grateful for - so glad I was able to step away from my irritant yesterday, even though it was nothing 'special'.
Have a super day! (((Hugs))) and much love!
PS - I am going to give out more hugs today. I am not a big hugger but it felt good once I surrendered that it was a 'good thing'!!
