JJ,
Like me you still have a way to go with your ability to deflect "her issues". It's a form of button pushing in that it initiates a reaction from us that is not pretty or healthy. Our job is to re-train our auto-pilot or give-up using it.

I've been laying low lately. Trying to relax a little bit and smell the roses. My greatest enemy is my own mind. It's almost as if when things are going well, I need to create a reason to beleive otherwise. Alot of it has to do with stress. Stress in our environment, our workplace and our home. Funny how we choose our reaction to this stress. Why can't we choose a positive reaction? I guess it would'nt be stress then, would it?

Try to take the weekend to relax. Get away and do something new.
