Sometimes it feels like I can't win.

I get headway and then something goes wrong in my relationship.

I am not always in the right frame of mind so sometimes I don't see

things the way they really are. I am not delusional just a bit confused.

But, I am still a winner in God's eyes. He doesn't make junk.

My relationship suffers because I have a hard time with setting boundaries.

I also struggle with not standing my ground or standing up for myself.

Sometimes I just want to stomp my feet, yell & leave the room. But, I try to

quiet my spirit & not engage.

Nevertheless, I am a work in progress & a child of God.

I have to remind myself, too, How important is it really? Compared to my sanity.

Do I want to be right or do I want to be happy?

Is it truly all good?

So, here I sit trying not to complain. My life is so much better than it was & better

than a lot of other people I know. Even my friends in the Program. Some of them are

very sick but they still keep going.

And, I have  pretty good health.

I don't really have solid complaints. Even when the weather is bad or the sun isn't shining,

God's handiwork is still there.

So, I stay in gratitude. I am so grateful that I can do simple things like typing up this post.

My hands still work. My mind is alert.

I am getting frustrated. Because people do annoy me.

I am not perfect. I have to remember that this particular person is

probably mentally ill.

Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.

I only get what I can handle.

I can only work on me & I am a work in progress.

No one nowhere is going to steal my serenity; my peace of mind.

I know now who I am & whose I am.

And, I will remember that whatever happens in my world, I can invite anyone to take the ride with

me. All I have to do is get on the road to Happy destiny.

I don't have to accept the unacceptable.

Does this all seem reachable? I ask myself. Yes, with God's help, I can reach my goals.
