Finding direction

Today's thought from the language of letting go,today I will pay attention to setting a course of action for my life, rather than letting others control my life and affairs. I found this very appropriate for today especially as I have an interview for my university course! I will apply this to my life today.

So nervous wish me luck please.

I don't know I got very flustered while answering some of the questions and I'm not sure if I answered them correctly or not. I just hope I said enough! Of course I came out and thought I should have said this and that, always the way eh lol. I hopefully find out out in the next couple of days.

It is so great to have a positive come out of a situation that a week ago you felt was hopeless! This is what recovery looks like. If he won't do it YOU can!
Good for you

Thank you I really appreciate all the support I have received in the last 6 months and I don't think I would have even contemplated applying if I didn't have the support!!

Today is a good day and I know that tomorrow may not be but for today I am going to enjoy it and deal with bad days when they come.

I am going out for dinner tonight with a friend to celebrate.
