Sometimes storms aren't about us.
.
Today I am grateful...
- that today starts the strict period of my new eating plan
- that today I have my limits and I can respect them
- for the truly touching moment last night when Ongina won the challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race
- that my life has more texture to it today than a fabric showroom
- that today I have more than I need and I will not take advantage of that fact
Sometimes, friends or loved ones will attack us for no apparent reason. They'll fuss, fume, and snap at us. When we ask them why, they'll say, "Oh I'm sorry. I had a bad day at work." But we still feel hurt and upset.
Hold people accountable for their behavior. Don't let people treat you badly. But don't take the storms in their lives personally. These storms may have nothing to do with you.
Seek shelter if necessary. Get away from curt friends until they have time to calm down; then approach when it's safe. If the storm isn't about you, there's nothing you need to do. Would you try to stop the ocean waves by standing in the surf with your arms outstretched? ~All quotes today from Hazelden's Today's Thoughts

Great quote today from Hazelden. I have taken so many things personally. Thankfully, I've learned that not every eruption has to cause a landslide of my feelings.
Have a beautifully slimming day, mister.
Mr Baxter never went into Hazel's den.
Ok....said with mucho love: ONGINA???
I'm so glad you have more than you need today.
So glad I'm not the only one who is unhappy with my eating pattern, Scott. I, too, am starting a strict new plan...more veggies and fruit and less junk and sugar !!
Love Hazeldon. Strange how it is not welcome in some AA circles. However, I always like the quotes on your blog. Good luck on the slim down. I know the fight too well.
I would love to hear about the new eating plan.
