Im finally starting to work a program! what a concept

YAY! i really just need some validation and some "good job"s.

I didn't get to see my sponsor on friday as planned, because she wasn't feeling well. had an anxiety attack, it passed and then i was out of town til sunday. i asked my sponsor if we might be able to talk on sunday afternoon because i needed to talk to her about something. she said she didn't know what she was doing. i left it alone, anticipating (as usual) for her to call on sunday.

she didn't call, but she txt msgd me that her & the fam were going to dinner and asked if i wanted to go. I couldn't because i had a soccer game right at the time they were going.
My head first goes to the negative and starts thinking: when she finally wants to hang out with me, i can't!

But, i have been trying to have a more positive outlook lately and use my program, so i talked to myself and told myself,
"you can look at the negative that you can't go, or you can look at the fact that she WANTED to hang out with you."
so, i immedialtely changed my thinking and was happy with the fact that she even invited me. that means she was thinking of me and that means alot. so the negative thinking was over-weighed by the positive! yay!
I felt this huge weight lift off my shoulders and i actually felt good. it was cool and it gave me hope and made me see what can happen when i actually work my program.

just wanted to share this "spiritual awakening" with you!
thanks!

That IS a good job, Skiss! Finding gratitude is ALWAYS important. Or have I mentioned that before. LOL. Probably. Keep up the good work!! And join us on the Gratitude List sometime, too.

Love you bunches,
