Thanks Joseph. To regulate my emotions, I gave myself some time to acknowledge and feel them. I got curious about what I could learn from the strong feelings. I examined my thoughts and observed them in a defusing way, challenged some of them and got into some work and exercise.
W texted about the money. I had been aware of the possibility that we would possibly be getting some money but had out it out if my mind since it was uncertain. We have a good idea now about the ballpark figure and expect to receive it in the next few weeks. It is being managed/disbursed through a law firm.
