Quote of the Day..

"Merely to change my behavior, and what I say and do, doesn't prove there's been a change in my actual inner attitude. I'm deceiving myself if I believe I can somehow completely disguise my true feelings. They'll somehow come through, prolonging the difficulties in my relationships with others. I have to avoid half-measures in getting rid of the trouble-some emotions. I've been trying to hide. HAVE I TAKEN AN HONEST INVENTORY OF MYSELF? " "May I know that feelings will come out somehow - sometimes barely disguised as behavior that I cannot always understand. But that perhaps is more acceptable to me than the root emotion that caused it. May I completely and vigilantly be honest with myself. May I be given the insight that comes through depending upon a Higher Power." Today I will remember.. Feelings can come out "sideways." ~~from the daily reading of A Day At A Time.. ~~ hugssss

Keep them coming!

Good morning sweet sweet Rhonda You've got me checking in every day now to read your QOTD. BTW, you showed up in a dream of mine a couple weeks back . I was on a cruise ship and we were talking over a dinner or lunch. I got up to get a drink, and when I came back, you had been replaced by someone else who I know from a board but have never met...

..what.. ........i was replaced dream about me again... tonight

I loved that..... "Feelings can come out sideways"....hmmm.....I like that...

That is such a great awareness to begin with & then to voice it, that is commendable and to state you will work on it is respectworthy. After reading yours I found another one to share. Quote of the Day - Saint Francis de Sales - "Be who you are and be that well." (I would like to share that my someday to be ex (if he ever lets go) does what & who he is very well.) He made sure & did it well, that he walked out with all the assets & refusing to share because "THEY ARE ALL HIS HE PAID FOR THEM" & they're all gone after acquiring them all for 23 years of marriage and he depleted them in 5 or less years so he didn't look like he just picked them up and walked out. BUT DON'T LET ME FORGET TO STATE, "HE IS SUCH A NICE GUY." I guess you just have to make sure as a woman he doesn't touch your assets. I hope he can get much of your special spirit and that he will at least entertain the idea that he should look in the mirror and HONESTLY ATTEMPT TO INVENTORY HIMSELF AND ASSESS HIS ABANDONMENT OF HIS BIOLOGICAL NIECE AFTER RAISING HER FOR 15YRS & says along with his attorneys it is ok for me to throw her out on the street. SHE SAW HIM AS A PARENT. BUT HE IS A NICE GUY. he abused her but he is a nice guy. no one in his life right now has been in his life before 2003 when he had his surgery except his employees he imposing on to do his grunt work, but HE IS A NICE GUY. He buys us lunch, he buys our drinks, he buys our dinner, he takes me places and he IS SUCH A NICE GUY, while he cheats his abandoned niece his refusal to be civil not even nice. I received ( a short changed, illegal) short check for spousal support & "ladies listen up" the check said WELFARE better known as spousal support. It would be nice if he could grow up & move on. I believe we all have to look at ourselves before we look and attempt to judge anyone else.

Hi.. I don't know you.. but can only assume whom you are referring to.. I'm not gonna pretend ignorance. I'm sorry you are struggling (if you are) and I'm sorry you are having a bad day (if you are). Thanks for sharing.. I wish YOU happiness in life and I still believe that it comes from within.. even during the times when we feel like the WORLD owes us everything. It's up to us.. and our faith to get up.. and declare it ours. Best wishes..
