@GlenM that I control my thoughts, not the other way round.

Hi everyone! This is growth step number 1130 for me.

Others have reminded me lately that I do not like change - which is mostly true. But there is a lot of change that goes on around me (in our country, at elections, friends moving or getting married, etc) over which I have very little if any control over. I am learning that this is okay because I cannot do anything about others' changes - except to ration, understand, realize how that change affects me and be intentional in my response to that person/people, the event, or whichever piece has affected me. And sometimes, I think, this means keeping my thoughts, ideas, and emotions to myself. In those cases though, it does help me to at least write about how I'm feeling - or talk with someone who is fully separate from the situation. That person can offer me another perspective, which sometimes I *really* need (even if I don't know that I really need it!). <3 Platy

Hi @korsbarella - we miss you come back! :)

Hi @Kate and Hi @Laura - anyone reading this? these two of the admin team for 7cups - they are just basically great!!! :) Thank you for all your hard work, Laura and Kate (and all admin team @GlenM .... etc)

I

I've learned that when I'm busy, I shouldn't expect myself to be able to remember all the things I need to do. I need to write them down or in some way 'capture' them.

Woohoo lev 80 get me. Smile and be thankful for being alive

I am thankful for my nice hair.

I learn how to cope in this world, how to be a good listen to people around you.

I am and should be more in control of my emotions. Nothing is as bad or as good as I make it out to be.

Doing my best to control my what I allowed to take place and leaning how others act towards me doesn't not affect me..
