Lately I have been on my mobile phone checking in a lot. I am now at the library where I can really get into it. I am doing much better w/ AH. He is getting less & less angry & not so grouchy. I am taking it as it comes & defending myself when necessary. He thinks we are arguing when I disagree. Mind you because I am tired, I tend to lose & forget things.
Now that I am working on my scrapbook, feelings come up more & more. It's funny that I can't find any glue stick today. I guess maybe I would overdo it like my Valentine's invitations. I love decorating & now I know I like to put on parties. I have given two 50th birthday parties for my close friends w/ a lot of help. Pretty simple parties but this is gonna be a big one for me. I invited 20 women. I had to limit myself to 20 from 35. I hope I don't let anyone down. There I go, worrying about something that may never happen. So, I use my program to live one day at time & only & do what I can handle. I am anxious a bit. I haven't had a really good night's sleep in a while. My psych nurse is gonna call me tomorrow & my counselor is going to see me after that. I need the attention. I just hope my psych nurse doesn't get upset.
So, here I go! Now I am winding down so I can do other things. I am grateful that I have a place to go where I can share my triumphs, victories & some disappointments but they are getting fewer & far between.
Thanks for being there for me. I am happy that I have a place where I can be me.
I really couldn't ask for more. I have enough of the things I need & lots of the things I want.
Dear Kathleen powerful posting!!! Many people are like your husband and consider a difference of opinion an argument. Program teaches that we are all entitled to our opinions and should express them. Thanks for sharing your success and process.
I hope the party is a huge success and look forward to seeing pictures.
You are a gift to those that are recipients of the delight you experience in giving parties. Share whatever and whenever you need to share. Hugs, Kathleen.
