Trying to just take things one day at a time.
Acceptance List:
#1 Everyone has a beautiful side, including me
#2 Everyone has an ugly side, including me.
Wait long enough and I'll even show it to ya!
And you'll likely show me yours.
I hate that expression, "familiarity breeds contempt"
I recall saying to my boyfriend (when I was 21), "I just want you to treat me like you did on our first date!" And, "if you didn't know me you wouldn't be such a jerk".
Oh yeah! This was an acceptance list.
Ahem...
#3 There is much I cannot change
#4 Some people are healthier than I
#5 My expectations will not always be met
#6 The future is a mystery and it's supposed to be that way
#7 No one expects me to be perfect
#8 It's none of my business (what other people think of me)
#9 If I provide my children with the perfect,most ideal childhood, they could still end up miserable.
(Their perception of such, each one likely different, is what will matter)
#10 I cannot protect them from everything
#11 I have a progressive disease called alcoholism
#12 There is a power, an immeasurable force in the universe. And...it's not me.
#13 If I meet that power half way, by doing the next right thing, I will always be taken care of
#14 Feelings are inevitable, necessary and temporary
