Thanks

I am not sure what happened yesterday but today definitely turned out better. I accomplished so much! When I got off work, I did one load of laundry and I put the dishes away. That deserves tons of kudos.

Stress is a problem and when it gets to be too much I can get into all sorts of trouble: eating my emotions, wallowing in my emotions, losing my zeal for fun things.

I have crossed this bridge before.  I am trying to remember the way and using mindfulness techniques. At this point in time, I am not safely across the bridge but I will get there again.  Thanks for your prayers and support. I will send my prayers and support your way, if you tell me. Happy hump day friends!

Good Saturday

Today’s rating is Positive.

I received an email this afternoon to go to a friend’s engagement party tonight. I was surprised by the late notice and initially thought (incorrectly) that I wasn’t wanted at the party. This is where I usually get into trouble. I will make assumptions based off circumstances that turns out to be completely false. I have gotten myself wound up and upset over these inaccurate assumptions.

Today turned out a little differently though. I thought about another possibility, that turned out to be true. There was a misunderstanding between the hosts and the guests of honor. Thankfully, the misunderstanding was resolved and I did get the invite. I couldn’t tell you how I was able to make the change and its impossible to know if I will be able to think logically again. We all let our emotions take the reins at some point. It feels good to be in control.
