Default Three tricky words...

"I used to". I have to be really careful with those words!!

If I think, "I used to" and reflect on happy memories,with gratitude for having been able to enjoy good times and/or "do my share", then I'm good.

If I think, "I used to" and determine to figure out if there's a new and different way of doing those things, or similar things, then I'm good.

If I think, "I used to" and get caught in a vortex of self-pity, then I'm toast.

I tend to do all of the above, sometimes all in the same day. Sometimes all in the same mental conversation. Sometimes I don't know when to put on the brakes before the first two skid into the third. Oh well. Just pondering.
