Hello Mahhhty,

You handled this perfectly. As for venting yesterday, I can understand why you were upset. I do think lost18 hit the nail on the head.

Now, this my seem a little odd at first, but I have been doing this for about 1 week and it seems to be helping me. It's one of those "daily affirmations" that you say outloud to yourself.

Here it is:
In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect whole and complete. I now choose calmly and objectively to see my old patterns and I am willing to make changes. I choose to have fun doing this. I choose to react is though I have found a treasure when I discover something else to release. I see in feel myself changing moment by moment. Thoughts no longer have any power over me. I am the power in the world. I choose to be free. All is well in my world.

Hope this helps. Have fun this weekend!

Bob
