Running around like a crazy woman as usual!! LOL!!!

I ended up baking another cake last night for Bob since Blue decided he wanted cake yesterday morning and stole the one I was cooling off the kitchen counter!! Don't be too impressed. It was from a box. I did how ever make frosting from scratch (tastes so much better!!) and did sneak a few licks off the beaters. Bob seemed to enjoy it!

He is still not doing well. Bummer. I however am only responsible for me. I did well maintaining my calmness. I am supportive but am really working on not letting his issues impact me too much. It is his work not mine. I cannot fix it for him. He has to do that. I did ask what was going on and all he would tell me was he was not doing well. I asked if it had anything to do with me telling him we did not have $25.00 to spend two nights ago and he said it did not. I mentioned that his shift in feeling well appeared to coincide with that conversation and again it told me it was unrelated. So I let it go.

I am long and lean.

Oh yes, another stir fry last night. This time with chicken, asian noodles, bok choy, celery, onion, snow peas, tomatoes ... it was delectable!!!

I am grateful ...

Tomorrow is payday!!
I read a little in my book last night!
For practicing positive thinking.
For several days of healthy eating.
For the mind, body, and spirit I have been blessed with.

And off I go ... continuing to be kind to myself, letting my mind rest in positive places, journeying along ... knowing that the joy truly is in the journey and that I am content, full of joy, able to handle bumps and detours, and accompanied by a cohort of wonderful friends!! A little shout out of joy for Densible who reached her 130 lb. goal!!! YAY Densible!!!! Have a good day ... no time to check in with you right now but I'll be back later!!!

Take care!!

Good job Carol on talking to husband about the issues, giving him a chance to talk if he wanted to but not 'owning' anything when he didn't. As you are learning, they are his issues. They impact you for sure but only you can decide how they impact you. So proud that you are continuing to be kind to yourself. Good job.

I am impressed with the progress you have made in your mental state in the last few months. As for hubby...yep no one can take care of his mood but him. He must be the one to fix it and I am so happy that you are not "owning" it and letting it affect your mood. You are truly a beautiful soul and I am so glad to have you in my life!

Friday - woot woot - Hi hun, have a super day. Hope your husband got some of the 2nd cake - lol. I did laugh/smile. At least the dog had good taste. Big hugs and have a great day.

Hi Carol. You are doing well- really great. I love that you are letting your husbands bad mood be his alone and continuing to support him. I have a hard time with that. Have a great weekend...and a gold star for just licking the beaters- I feel like I would have eaten the whole cake!

Hi Carol. I am a day late as usual. I am proud of you for just putting it on the table. That's what I have to do for myself or I would stew about it all day. Better to just lay it out there like you did and move on. We have to be kind to ourselves or we just take on other peoples problems and issues. You are doing a great job!! Hugs!!
