Just when you think....


Just  when you think things are gonna blow up, he apologizes
Just when you think you are gonna go stir crazy, he suggests a walk
Just when you think you are getting old, he brings out the child in you
Just when you think its gonna be a lousy day, he makes you smile...
Funny,
this was not my hp, it was my abf.  If any of you read my earlier post, well..enough said, but MY attitude ended up saving the day.
We talked, he apologized and took full responsibility for his lack of responsibility.  We watched an episode of a series we are both hooked on, made breakfast for dinner together and went for a walk.  We ended up in the ball park, lying in the grass and making shapes out of the clouds.  We played a pretend baseball game and ran the bases.  Though the day isnt over yet, it has definitely improved.
I guess I learned that MY attitude does have an effect on more than just me!  I will keep today in my memory as a reminder that all is not always as lost as it seems, and neither am I.  I will sleep soundly tonight and wake with a smile tomorrow...

there is a solution for this problem .  Don't think !!!!. trying to figure out what he is going to do next is damn hard work .  Go with the flow make your plans don't wait for someone else to plan your day for you . Enjoy today , it really is all we have .  One day at a time works and u only have to get thru today  , would be a shame to miss a great day .  Louise
