I have been doing really well detaching, staying on my side of the street, working on me and my interests, focusing on a closer / more consistent communication with my HP. Today, not so much.
For some reason I just couldn't pause before responding or not; I reacted. I barked. I acted exasperated. Even after praying for guidance, all AH's little comments and digs kept getting to me. When I left the room it was in anger; when I didn't say much, it was punitive. When I tried to start the day over, it became groundhog's day!
So, today was a step back, but as long as I am still moving in the right direction most days, I can forgive my imperfections. Think I will hit a meeting tomorrow!
(((Ellen))) - great awareness and it does happen......some days, I believe I am a miracle just making it to my pillow. Yet, I still see you and me exactly as we are when this happens - imperfect humans living in an imperfect world doing the best we can with what we got. I can't always says why, but I do have 'more' some days than others!
Prayers and positive thoughts you way - we are all miracles in progress even on our worst days as we've survived! (((Hugs)))
