Fresh perspective today. I really enjoy having the boards as a journal and to visit other people's threads.
I need to focus more on my GAL and 180 less on how I think H is acting toward me. The negative parts do not need attention. I am contributing to it by acting unhappy.
So being happy is my number one objective. I do not need to wait for H to be happy myself. I think this is both GAL and a 180 for me.
I mentioned my career in my last post. I have started on several new streams of income (design services, writing, patterns, gifts) to build my own creative business. Building this business is one of my happiest goals. Right now it is small, but I do have steady work and I know I can grow this.
Although our finances are fine since H's business is very successful, H is not sure he believes in how well I can do (and that had been bringing me down), but I do not need to wait for him to change his attitude. I was feeling discouraged that H was not excited for me, so much that I began to doubt myself. Now I know I need to stop that and be my own champion.
I need to go ahead, plan a lot, and do my best and make my goals happen.
