Seems Everyone I Come In Contact with Lately has a "Poor Me" Story to Share... And tho I am a VERY Caring & Compassionate Person, I at times Just get tired of EVERYONE around me Focusing on Everything Wrong & Nothing thats Right! That is One thing this Disease has Taught me (Since I Quit Drinking) I Can't Stand Winey Peeps... Lord if I was that Bad I have some Ammends to Make I'm Sure...
I'm Not Tring to Sounds Judgemental or Above anyone at all... I Just Really do My Best Day In & Day Out to Be Possitive about Something! Anything! Even in the worst of times! Today I have Run into Not 1... Not 2.... But (4) Peeps... They all at Differant Times Came to Or Called my Office, and Frankly they are Bummin Me OUT!
DETACHMENT TIME AGAIN! Seems One would know sooner get out of the Office & another would come in before I could Pray the Words! "Theirs... Not MINE!" The Next one would appear! This Just Proves my Fact on "Negative Peeps Bring Negative thoughts!" ... Tho Some are Customers & I have to pretty Much sit thru their ICK! Others are Family/Friends, and I Do Adore them but when they hit My Threshold I Feel "Doctor Glume" right behind them!
Sooooo.... TODAY... My PROGRAM NEEDS :)

I have a practice of sending out a gratitude list today to a friend. I have been at that for 18 months and it has taken me a long time to break through all the poor me's. I still have poor me's of course but the gratitude outweigh them.
