Thanks for that list - those are always good reminders! I am working so hard on that right now. #33 and #34 are good reminders now. I have had some down days lately and get tired of it all. And I don't want to undo any good I have done.
I am trying to figure out how to handle this new and improved alien living in my house. That normal adult is there sometimes but still with a lot of the teenage rebel. It is so strange. In some ways it seems like he has forgotten how to be the "adult" him. Either that, or maybe he is just not there yet. Who knows. I am trying to be grateful for those times and detach from the rest and keep my expectations at zero for the moment and the future. These not-alien sightings help keep my hopes up but I am not sure that is a good thing.
