Re: Jfh, this is for you...

"Worry warts. That is hard to change; very hard. Critical and practical. When I run out of things to worry about, I invent something."

I understand that. I could be like that. There are times I still go there, yet now I 'feel' the discomfort and have to talk to myself OR just tell myself 'this is not where you desire to be.' It is working better as I continue with doing that.

I do know anything is only as hard as you make it OR expect it. I choose not to allow worry to 'run away with me' any longer. The times worry comes up, I examine it and determine if it is a reality. If not, I release it.

LOL Now, saying all that, I am still working on my relationship with my son. He still lives at home. He and I started an argument this evening. I told him to go into his room. After a few minutes when he did, I calmed down 'a little' and told him if he wanted to live in this house, he would stop yelling at me. I have been telling him he is more than welcome to move...this time I said no I retract that, you WILL move. Within minutes (maybe 20 yet I think less, I was doing something and didn't see the clock when things changed), as opposed to hours or days, we moved up the scale.

"I'll get there. Thanks."

You are more than welcome. The offer stands...if or when.

Peace,
Beth
