Oh like you'd disappoint us with one slightly woeful post! Silly girl!
Like Sage said, it's NOT the same ol, same ol, either. It is more action oriented.
I for one, rather enjoyed Identity...not the best, certainly not the worst. How about "Bruce Almighty?" We caught that last weekend and while I didn't find it to be the laugh fest my best friend alluded to it has a very nice message overall.
I think negative "blips" are to be expected. Holy Crap, we've had a lot to deal with, haven't we? I too sometimes indulge in the..."he did it then, he lied and lied over and over, fessed up then lied again...why not now?" kind of thinking. But what purpose does that serve?
Maybe it does give us a little check to make sure we DON"T slip back into "old ways", I don't know. I think we're better off assuming the best and if we are disappointed again...well, I don't know about you, but I'm a MUCH stronger person now, and I will not stand for such a betrayal again. Sorry, but that's how I feel.
Also, I think all of us can "sense" that things are different this time. I know I can. Even though things are far from perfect (whatever that is!) I don't have this awful sense that my world is falling apart, that I don't know who my spouse is, that the rug could be pulled out from under my feet any second...do you know what I mean??
And thanks to you and SAM for the "list the positives" idea, it's already brightening my outlook.
I used to keep a gratitude journal (thanks to Oprah) back in '98 when my anxiety was at it's worst. Some days I listed stuff like: I have full use of my limbs...I saw some pretty flowers...I can breathe unassisted...pretty basic stuff, but things that some people, sadly, do not enjoy. Puts things into perspective, no?
