New Day, New Attitude
Almost new attitude...

In discovering that my usual "rescue techniques" were not working, I feel as though I have been given a gift; a somewhat strange one but a gift nonetheless.
Rescue techniques, like healing is a journey. As I walk my path of healing, what worked for me before does not mean they will work for me now.
Some do, some don't.
It's up to me to keep or toss, open my mind to entirely new ones...I can be self-serving, overprotective, and unproductive at times.
Being overwhelmed should have been my sign--if you are familiar with that saying.

Gratitude fills my heart for what has worked many, many times for me.
Hope is also there for the new ones that are coming.
Understanding and acceptance that letting go of some of them is a good thing.

I'm not beating myself up for fighting these changes.
The bump on my butt is because sometimes I need bumps to get my attention...and if I say, "Who Me?"
The answer to that is, "Yeah, ya see anyone else around?"

Allowing anyone, irl or here, to dictate my actions re sharing my thoughts? Past the expiration date.

In Peace,
Catherine
