Until I read your statement God will do for me what I cannot and often time will not do formyself, I was perplexed by the path that a friendship and work relationship are taking. I will surrender both to the care of God and let happen whatever will happen. I know from past experience, this works best, as I don't have nor want the whole picture. From your fingers to my eyes...thanks! ...and I do feel for you....I am sorry..hugs for all concerned.

God will do for me what I cannot and often time will not do for myself. Dinner last evening was an expectation. Not a biggie...promises were made along with plans and though I wasn't looking forward to something I would have no control over unless it was me alone it turned out to be another exclamation point to the behaviors of this disease. It didn't happen and so for me it wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't involved in the plans and consents and so I wasn't invested other than as long as he is a part of my life there will be consequences as I allow them to happen...for me. Again I am not going to try to figure it out. "it is what it is", "you don't have to like it...you just accept it and move on". Practice, Practice, Practice. Mahalo for the support. (((hugs)))
My issues are not at home so much, but with y F2F group
I know I will get there if I suck in a bit of air.
Last night a dreamed I had a smallish cardboard box. Them i was trying to catch a tiny chicken and get it into the box. The chicken turned into chickens and the chickens turned into white mice.
Then the terrier came along and tried to wipe out the mice. I panicked! My So and So came into the scene and lo! and behold she had the mice in the box in a trice!
I suppose the dream was telling me something...???
