Aloha MIP Family...I am grateful that when I had to fall back on others for support you all were there!! It was 3+ hours before my spouse made it home and absolutely nothing I would have planned or expected or feared about came about. Every time I went to put my crown on along with my sword and shield I ended up letting go and dismissing. The resentment is real but minor. I won't even expose it here. Reality is what happened and part of that reality was the feedback from many members of this awesome supportive family that walk the talk day after day.
I of course know I have choices...Do it my way (oh Crap!!) Do it as suggested (sure not a whole lot of excitement in this one) Do it as suggested with my HP (Wow the other way I see it is exciting).
Made a Mikey Dee's stop on the way home cause my wife had not eaten and I had my self a M&M McFlurry (bonus) and then home so that the pups Chloe and Sadie could climb all over Mom and welcome her back home (still going on this morning) and Mom could smile that she has the ceiling fan she wanted in the kitchen.
What's past is past...Let it Go! Woke up tired and grateful. This takes care of the gratitude and now I'm going to see if I can nap in the morning with the sun up. HUH?
The last time I was getting resentful of a delay I got in to this long conversation in my head about "time". I decided that there really isn't such a thing. "Time" in itself is manmade so things will run more smoothly and appointments and deadlines can be met. All we ever really have is "right now". So I led myself through the "right nows" until "time" was up..lol

Like Pfunk, I don't know the whole story, but I'm glad it turned out well!
"absolutely nothing I would have planned or expected or feared about came about. " Funny how we seem to do that to ourselves, isn't it?! It usually always turns out completely opposite
Glad the little Women got back to you safe and sound...And now you are makin me want to head to the local ice cream shop, however, thanks to the hour, My Sugar will not spike tonight Maybe tomarrow ;)
I am sure you pups were very thrilled to see her as well, for I have 3 and when I come home that is one of my biggest joys is receiveing there slobbery lovins :)
I'm only now aware how resentful I can be of small things daily. I try to acknowledge and work with them. I'm so impressed with your self knowledge and work on yourself. I am glad you were able to share it.
Jerry O Jerry, where have I been all this time...and the saga goes on and you make it safe and sound and here's me not noticing the time and the passage of such...all too late...
still it was good to read and realise that "...all's well that ends well..." .
I've been having a been-there-done-that - watch-out-this-time-around-thingy myself, but that's another saga.... tee hee.
