Life, One Day at a Time (22 months)

[needgrace]

thank you adinva, cat and 25 for inspiring and thoughtful posts. my anger was welling up this morning, my self-righteous superior victimhood about what was done to me.... and your posts caused me not only to see my faulty thinking but also to realize my power... to change me. as you alluded to, adinva, i could have stayed blind and fumbled through life unaware and unhappy, but my stich has woken me up.

and, 25, i agree with your thoughts about the difference between empathy and pity. i do think it is a slippery slope to feeling superior and one i struggle with at times. it is something for me to work on still. my W felt it during the M and your post helped me put a framework around why.... i was lacking true empathy and i was too concerned about being right.

thank you for the inspiration this morning.
