Small wonder and HP
This is not a huge miracle story, but worth noting to me. The other night my AH went out with his family for their "men's Xmas dinner". I woke up at 3:00 and he was still not in bed next to me (he does not do that - the not coming home thing)... my heart started beating, my head started spinning, I was rapidly getting out of control with anxiety...I got out of bed and then I saw him passed out on the couch. I was furious...I went downstairs, woke him up, and said "at the very least you could have told me when you got home, so I wouldn't worry!"... I marched right up to bed - more furious than I was before. You all know the deal!!
So, I prayed!!! I prayed for serenity, I prayed for peace...and I swear it was like something washed over me, and I turned over and fell sound asleep. Woke up feeling great... I'd swear that was my HP carrying me.

I know it sounds a little cooky, but it was weird. Normally, I would have been up all the rest of the night, planning what I was going to say, what I was going to do...all that jazz. But, I just fell asleep in peace.
{tap}{tap}...Is this thing on?

Peaches,
I've found that the more I ask for the more my HP gives when it comes to serenity. I've prayed for the compulsive thoughts to be taken away as I lie in bed at night thinking about what I said, what I didn't say, what I WOULD say if they said this or that....ohhh my I've asked quite a few times. And you are right it is amazing when the thoughts wash away.
As I was writing my response I realized that I can look at these times of relief as little moments of gratitude. For all that I have learned to do differently. I know that when I am grateful it is harder for me to be angry or frustrated. Note to self, find more things to be grateful for.

Good point Petunia!! Maybe that's what I'll do when something like that happens again - I'll try and remember what I am grateful for, which is certainly not a small list! I think we may be on to something with this focusing on the good things. And reaching out to our HP!!
