Morning Doll. We go through situations in our lives, that we can beat ourselves up over.
We recovering alcoholics are good at that.
We beat ourselves into the ground trying to make a bad situation, into a good one.
We look at the positive parts--instead of the negative parts--and deny that the negative parts exsist.
We clean up our side of the street, and wonder why the hurricane is still there, and its raining like "H"
Starting to realize that when theres a hurricane...its better to avoid it and maybe take shelter, somewhere else.
I think its called "Detatch, and Let Go and Let God"
Havent been sharing much...personally ..on the board lately..have had to do some real inventories...and then..it was a matter of getting honest..and looking at a few things that were real...and not real.
Its been an emotional roller coaster.
And I guess after doing all that...it was a matter of accepting..that ..some things are not about me...they are someone elses stuff...and theres not a thing one can do about that. I am only responsible, for my side of the street.
Was in a situation, where I did my best...honestly. Allowed myself to be knocked into the ground...and yes...verbal abuse, was a part of it.
Had to let it all go. Another learning experience. Have a good day.
