it's interesting to read a series of posts after being gone for a few days. every time i read about someone who is able to change their response pattern in situations i am honestly impressed. even in situations where it seems trivial or unimportant. this is really where the rubber meets the road as they say - and reflects your successful retraining of yourself. and even though it isn't always apparent, it keeps influencing the nature of your relationship - away from the status quo and onto something different.
it's also interesting that it turns out all of those calls to family may have been about BIL's situation (of which we all want the best).
let's pretend i am a genie in a bottle and can grant you three wishes. what would they be?
