Where does the WAW go

[Doodi]

Just thought I'd try to find some positivity. TH posted this on another thread but I wanted to try it here, for me.

1. List three difficult things that happened in your past.
2. List something you learned from each of these difficult things.

3. For the next 14 days make a list of 10 things that you noticed and are grateful for having in your life. I mean... you really feel gratitude for these things. 10 a day for 14 days.

Repeat #s 1 & 2.

This was posted on another thread and I thought I'd give it a shot in mine.

1. 3 Difficult things

*Being home alone with my baby brother when my house caught fire...I was 8
*Standing up to my mother the last time she hit me
*Dealing with my H's possible infidelity

2. What I learned

*That even at a young age, I was able to keep my wits about me in even the stressful situations.
*That eventually the pain gets bad enough that you risk it all
*My husband will repeatedly lie to my face to cover his @ss

3. 10 Things I'm grateful for

*My 2 beautiful kids

*My oldest and dearest friend--she's seen the good, the bad and the ugly, but she's still here

*Dr. Shelley--for guiding me through to a stronger me

*This forum and everyone who has tried to help me

*That my H has admitted/identified a few things he needds to work on

*Eminem's new CD Recovery--Music is very powerful

*My Laptop because then I'm never far from a happy place

*The gym and my trainer

*My ability to squash my feelings, otherwise I would be
crippled on the floor

*I finally have a way out and a place to go IF I decide it's what I need to do.
