Friday Morning Bullets

TGIF!
  • I like to think of Friday as the beginning of my week rather than the end of it.  Tonight is my favorite meeting.  It is the one I started eight months ago.  It is a step study except for the last Friday of each month we have a speaker.  I always tell the chairwoman not to tell me who the speaker is, I want to be surprised!
  • The result of my professor allowing me to take my exam after spring break was a B+ (88%)  I am so thrilled and grateful.  Just goes to show you it never hurts to ask for help.
  • On the same tack, I went to talk to an academic advisor the other day and she was very impressed with my transcript.  It made me wonder, "How come I am not impressed?"
  • I am going to try to be more positive about things and see the beautiful forest for what it is, and stop focusing on that one ugly tree.  Old habits sure are hard to break!
  • Last night it snowed like the dickens.  This morning the sun is shining and melting the snow.  March is getting ready to leave us like a big ole lion.
  • Today my mantra is "Easy does it," and "It is what it is."
  • Hope you all have a wonderful sober day!

Great job. Often we're hardest on ourselves. Glad you're getting some well deserved positive reinforcement. Have a great weekend!

...it never hurts to ask for help.
I agree. So why is it so hard for some of us to do that? For me, it nearly always boils down to my big ol' ego - which has never once pitched in to help me. That's why I'm grateful for a program that puts it on a strict diet when I work the steps. It sure is stubborn, though. Shedding the extra ego weight is more difficult than getting rid of my spare tire.

If an ugly tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to notice it, was the tree ever really ugly?

Wait a minute...
