Other than the humble pies, I have also been taking a lot of chill pills. After the D/ 2nd outburst/ OW, I realised that things probably may not get much worse. I have become pessimistic optimist? Or optimistic pessimist?
I realised that I really must start following Michele's advice of treating your family with the respect that you would treat a stranger with. Not quite what I grew up with (we've got v loud voices on both sides of the family), but it's never too late to change, is it?
On the GAL front, I have been really busy. I have been taking care of my fitness, my health, changing my wardrobe (had to cos of my weight loss), going to church, reading, going to the movies, hanging out with my girlfriends, learning new hobbies etc etc.
Every day, I do a mental and emotional review of the day and see what it is that I could have done better. I am more aware of my interactions with those around me; I realise that their perceptions of me and my actions can be very different from my own.
And every day and night, the serenity prayer...
You can call me Dory/ Grl.
As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"
It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
