Im really glad you got something good from this Leed. I think it helps knowing what some things are going to happen in my day. That way it isnt such a surprise when it happens and I already have a plan in place for dealing with it. It got kinda hectic in the afternoon and at one point I wasnt sure If I could handle it. But I used shine and focus. When something upset me I shined it on (meaning let it pass, there was nothing I could do to change it from not happening) and focused on what needed to be done. The day turned out good, a lot better than it would have if Id given in to the anger feelings and let them ruin my day as well as others like has happened in the past. And I didnt ruminate about things later.

Thanks shlump and Rohaq too.

Sorry to hear about your pain and daily struggles too.
