I realized something this morning, another evidence of therapy working has occurred!! My h has direct deposit for his paycheck every friday and this past friday, he didn't get paid. I did not freak out. I, with my money complex and anxiety that we've worked with a lot in therapy - did not freak out! I calmly said to h "Well, they'll get it figured out. You've worked there what 5 years or more now and this has never happened before in all that time. They'll figure it out, don't worry about it." He was worried and fretting, and I was calm! Imagine that. He called his company and told them so they could check into it. He kept checking the bank all weekend. By Sunday night, his money was there.

What a difference, you guys. A year ago, I would have let that incident ruin my entire weekend. I would not have been able to focus enough to finish up my homework in time for the deadline Saturday so my grades would have suffered, I would not have gone to my journey circle on Sunday morning and missed out on that awesome experience, I would have fretted and stewed and panicked about it all weekend. I'm so amazed when I think back to how I would have reacted in the past. Just wanted to share that.

eta: I take back my recent whinings about t. and vow to think about all the gains i've made in therapy with her before i complain about her again.
