Point taken. Thank you for the correction!

I heard from the W tonight. She texted me to ask me for a favor. I, regrettably, couldn't help her out, but we had a brief conversation and I got some more details about her illness. I did, however, screw up and didn't end the conversation first.

I felt a little bad about that, but continued with my evening. A couple of hours later, I was finishing Chapter 2 of DR, and I came across this passage:

So that's what I'm doing, I'm allowing myself to celebrate and feel positive, per the other passages in that section. Two baby steps in one week!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
