I could very easily get down and out today and have had my moments, but I am going to chose to take a different approach.I think my HP has great changes in store for me because:my car got wrecked, our Air Conditioning Went Out at the house (and I live in Texas) and my renters in our rent house just told us they are moving out in two weeks. Plus my son is having issues with the woman he lives with and his car broke down.I was feeling so overwhelmed and AH and I started the old patterns of taking our stresses out on each other.(Accusing, blaming, yelling over each other).The latest issues are threatening our vacation coming up in 3 weeks and I initially wanted to just put my foot down and say, nothing is going to shake up my plans.But that is the spoiled unrealistic me.Now I am thinking, my HP must have really great things in store for me since I am facing so many changes and challenges!And this is a test to how much I really want to work the principles too. I chose to see these as opportunities.Some are opportunities for better and some are opportunities for me to let go and let my HP take over.
Things can look so very different in 24 hours. I'm sending you love and support during this time.
Hugs P :)

You don't sound anything like the old oldgraduate that use to come here. Wonder what happened to her. Hmmmmm might be she's done some changes. You think?
thanks Jerry F - I keep remembering the old sayings - Fake it till you make it. And Thoughts Held in Mind produce after their kind. So, today does look better. Still falling back on old habits but learning it's baby steps. I'm making progress.
