The sky is blue and no one can tell me otherwise!
Permalink  

That's my work these days... I've been lied to so often that I have a hard time believing what I see is true.  I've been doing pretty well with it too and I'm proud of myself! 

My in recovery AH has been "dopey" the past couple of days, and his daughter noticed as well.  I simply told him, I know you say you are not drinking (although I do not completely believe him), but you appear to be dopey, there is a definite difference in your behavior and I am not imagining it.  I don't know what the cause is, but I don't care to be around you when you are like that.  End of discussion- no trying to convince me he's not dopey, because I know he is and cannot be convinced otherwise.  MY SKY IS BLUE.  Not pink, or purple, or yellow.  I don't know how it got to be blue, but I know it is BLUE.

<sigh>  small victories.

This is brilliant insight. Thank you for sharing this. This is where I get so confused - in the discussion of what is when I know. Thank you!

Great post! I couldn't have put that better myself..................

In these situations only believe what you can see and experience for yourself, that only took me 15 years to 'get to grips' with! :) Never was a fast learner LOL

You are awesome! I love the way you are believing in yourself. The best way to be.

And it is blue and will just get more brilliant along the way!
