Hey DaisyMay/ WIMP(work in much progress), that's what's great about negative days.....it's much easier tO recognize the Positive, when you see it.

I used to do that too, step in and try to help. but have been standing back and letting them figure things out lately.

I said something to my 20 y/o dd to the effect: I think I gave you the false impression that you NEED me. You're really quite capable, look at you.

It's you're brother we're not too sure about!

I've convinced every one I hold the Universe together. Now it's hard to tell them I don't really. When I taught ED kids, my job was to hold the universe together when their worlds exploded. But now I'm tired, I can't do that anymore. DH not what become I expected (or he expected of me) in new normal. Neither one of us signed up for this. But it's not going to change.

Hey Salpal~ OK, this kind of goes along w/my earlier post. I kept my PT appt today, as knew the weather was only going to get worse as the day wore on, so as I was pulling back into my driveway, I got out of my vehicle to check the mailbox.

It was snowing and totally white out, but I looked up and there in the sky was a fuzzy, dull looking sun w/a halo around it. The SUN was poking through during a snowstorm! I just stood there looking up & getting covered in snow. I had a few honks, but I'm sure they were just trying to say ''Hey You!!! Get outta the darn snowstorm"!!!

Granted, the sun was only out for a couple of minutes, BUT write this on the wall....

DM had day #2 of making the best out of a bad day.... I smiled, I felt positive and even though it's still snowing~~ I saw the SUN.

DM -

I wanted to get outta the house, but stayed in due to the snow. Luckily, I got an email from a friend, made my day! YAY for staying in!
