Well yesterday I was feeling pretty down.It is Christmas eve, and I took my daughter to work, I started feeling that scary lonely feeling creeping on me and I decided to go into the kitchen and see if I could find something to cook a nice Christmas eve dinner.After scouring the pantry and freezer I have roast,dinner rolls,mashed potatoes, cake, deviled eggs,etc.Hmm,It must be the way i look at things, for yesterday I was sure we were going to starve!And it got rid of that scary lonely feeling.Merry Christmas!
Merry christmas mj. I've just achieved a similar christmas miracle with 3 frozen pancakes and a banana. lol.

yep, me too.....was feeling kind of lonely, but i did this...i put distance on what little family i have here b/c of the way i was treated , I never was mean, insulting, etc., just refused to put my hand on the hot stove anymore....so i brought my being shunned on me.....its OK...i stood up for what is right....I am not sorry about my boundaries......I see things differently now...i wold rather be alone then make plans, get all ready and the rug gets pulled out from under me AGAIN......no.....this is much better, i am being treated right......by me.....tomorrow i will do my Christmas dinner and enjoy it.....My expectations of a nice dinner will be fulfilled b/c I am the one preparing and serving it......standing up for me did cost me, but what, really did I lose??? drama....ruined dinner/holiday plans.....
I have some great videos...dogs ate the first of their Christmas bones with joy......it is quiet...peaceful.....no waiting for an event that will not happen....no raging alcoholics.....no "jabs" at my recovery........its peaceful
