Beginning to get confused again and have questions

[fearless]

My plan is to put as much effort into GAL as I have been putting into analyzing the situation. I am looking at some things to do to take care of me. Things to improve myself physically. Some of it will be noticeable quickly. While others, like going to the gym/walking dog/eating healthy won't be noticeable as quickly but will improve how I feel about myself.

Great idea!! You really are doing a good job. Yes, you can get better and YOU WILL:)

Here's a quote that really started me down the right path

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's taken a long time (I had this quote hung up all of my house and office in the fall) but I've finally applied it to my life. In fact I use it to remind me that even a wrong sentence is already out of my mouth BUT I refuse to let myself go down the wrong path even further. If that makes any sense:) I've had a rough couple of days so I'm not as coherent as I should be!

NYS has a great way of getting to the heart of the issues. I've been trying to take his advice too. The key for me is to think about the results I want and how my words or actions are going to contribute to that result. Which means there's lots to think about in our conversations.

Hang in there
