restless, irritable and discontent

A couple minor remarks by my husband coupled with a few moments of REALLY wanting a top shelf margarita on the rocks with salt. And now I'm just mooky; I feel like I'm doing a lot more to move us into our new home than he has... Despite the fact that he's not unpacked one box, he did manage to come home with a 50 inch TV last night. Priorities.

Making sure to make it to tomorrow's meeting... I always leave there better than I came, and sometimes there are cookies too. What's not to love?

Cookies are good.

Breathe. Hope you can get some rest soon and enjoy your meeting.

I hear resentments. Turn it around and be grateful for all that you have.

Pause and Pray and wait for right thought and action. I usually react too quickly. Sponsor?

How about hiring someone to assist you with moving things?

I've done that before ..useing AA members who have extra time
and can use a bit of spending money.

Haha! So very true on both points

When I start feeling that way, it usually has something to do with me not wanting to be me.

I want to feel different that I do and that usually has something to do with my expectations and either I'm not meeting them or someone else isn't meeting them.

Either way, here is where I usually try to determine if I'm living in God's will or mine?

...and one thing that always works is helping someone else. It works. Every. Single. Time.

Thanks Kjell--good to turn it around this way and think about the expectations. I'll have to try that.

I'm currently working on letting go of my need to control everything, including the weather (haven't had much luck with that lately)
