LB Grateful

 10 things:

1. Walmart wasn't too crazy: because lots of lines were opened by the time I left.

2.  That I have running water:  because I thought my well was going out, but it is my water heater.

3.  That I had the money to buy at Walmart:  so that I can give presents for Christmas.

4.  That all the people called me back:  so I could finish my work.

5.  No tornados:  because I don't want any and there were 8 last night.

6.  That my kidneys work:  because my granddaughter's don't and I need to be glad mine do.

7.  Christmas shopping is almost done:  cuz I don't have time for it.

8.  That Jesus was born:  cuz I sure do need a savior.

9.  That I have electric heat:  I don't miss keeping a fire going at all.

10.  That of all the places in the world in all the times, this is when I am alive.

Day 4 Magic: Future

 In the future I am still here and I'm with the people I am with now.  I am fine with most of that.  I am wearing a smaller size; I am drinking and eating smaller quantities.  I am settled and calm.  I am happy.  

Chaos: day 3

 1. First thing in morning

2. when trying to work out and someone is home

3. whenever husband is around

Set boundaries, work out when everyone is at work or school (though usually I am at work), I don't know what to do about the husband. Maybe that's where I need to let go of control.  

Day 2 Magic

Boundaries 

Inner Circle:  my own health, my own sanity, my independence and control

Outer circle:  others having control of me, serving others at my expense, too much drama

Day One Magic

 Barriers:

Time:  Schedule

Energy:  Do first?

Other people's demands: Tell them to shove it

Remembering: Keep on calendar
