Well, my son leaves for more training for the Air National Guard in the morning. He will be gone for 4 months. That leaves just me at home, when my D is at my wife's place. I'm kinda bummed and yet happy he's living his dreams to be a police officer. I wish him luck and I am one proud Dad.
Just me?? Who can I control?? Just me!! Who can get me out of this funk?? Just me!! Just me is such a powerful phrase. Who has the power to change me?? Just me!! I am learning to rely on just me for the validation that I need, if I cannot be okay with just me, I'll never have a good relationship that has a just us.
I made my sons favorite dinner tonight of lasagna and it turned out pretty frigging good. He had seconds and so did I. My daughter had only one helping but she is not a lasagna gal anyway lol. Another feather in my cap, this was the first time I made lasagna. Matter of fact I put some to the side for lunch tomorrow.
One of my gal activities that I am going to start doing is reaching out to people who are lonely. Seniors who have lost a loved one. My neighbor's husband died 2 years ago and she told me that she still hurts and is lonely. This got me to thinking that there are a bunch of people who are hurting and lonely, so... i see a way to reach out and love a little (without expectation of any thing in return) and I'm going to do it. I'm going to start by inviting her to eat and watch a little tv with me oh once or twice a week. I hope she will be receptive to my invitation. Plus I'm lonely and it's a win/win situation.
Still reading The Happiness Trap, I'm enjoying this book so far. any other recommendations??
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
