Caught myself
Permalink  

Hope everyone is jamming a good Sunday.

I was just laughing. I caught myself plotting and planning a most complicated plan or more accurately, a manipulation!

An issue that was none of my business.

Luckily I realised. Laughed. Stopped myself before any damage done.

Having nice cup of tea instead and MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS!!

I love my self awareness learnt through Al-anon. Before I used to go crashing in like a bull dozer creating havoc!

I agree calm lady  Keeping the focus on myself has helped me to get to know myself and see what I do that hurts me--  How great is that!!

My life is so much simpler when I just stay in my own hula hoop! I am now amazed at how quickly things can change when I entertain mischievous thoughts!!

Grateful you are here and what a great share.....I can relate and I love that we can use our tools to redirect if/when straying thoughts arrive...

(((Hugs))) - been sunny all morning and some clouds are rolling in now. I've been to a meeting and hung out for some fellowship. Love my program family - here and local!

Thank you Betty & IAH for your lovely posts. I love my program family too.

Very much enjoying the Al-anon talks on the website xa-speakers that I was lead to seemingly by accident. Only it wasn't of course.

There is only one meeting a week available to me where I live so to have all these wonderful Al-anon shares to listen is great.

I have just taken on the role of Group Rep. I am so grateful and excited about it.

Beautiful sunny weather here today. Got my meeting then lunch together afterwards tomorrow.
