a steamy Thursday

oh you thought I was going to write about sex didn't you?

great warm humid breeze coming in the window, it is lovely that it is summer, July and I am so grateful for summer wish it was always summer but then I'd be in AZ or New Mexico which is where I really really did think I would end up but haven't. See what can happen when ya self will a thing like marriage?

WV is beautiful today. Of course 2 days ago I was on the phone with my sponsor blaming everything wrong with me and my life on the whole state of WV. Well, it couldn't wouldn't be my fault now could it?

I can be such a marytr. Oh, telling the obvious now am I? Everything I love to do can change so incredibly by my attitude of it in a moment. I love to travel I do but I hear my whining about driving 5 hours for an hour presentation. I even got to stop at the outlet on the way home and pick up some more fiesta ware. I love giving presentations. I even got great constructive criticism about alternative formats for those with special needs and handed out my card cause others have places and people who they want to see the presentation. I can get so low about WV meetings but one of my Alanon sisters is in Australia and her husband is beginning cancer treatments and she is way far away from all of us who love and support her. We can show up for her with cards and emails but

Today's God Calling about treating all with love and consideration. My short fuse of late is wearying for me and for others. Some days it is such a challenge for me to not let how others treat me alter my treatment of them. I sure am/was grateful my self righteousness did not show up in this noon meeting. Its not up to me to give them their lessons, only up to me to give them love and consideration with my experience strength and hope.

enjoy your Thursday steamy or not

gosh I wish I could remember that it is not up to me to give people their lessons. Did you learn that the hard way? Cause, that's the kind of stuff I ALWAYS learn the Hard Way.

I like your comment about not letting how others treat me affect my treatment of them. It's hard to not have some resentment but I am working hard at doing a quick inventory to see what has got the resentment going.
