Meanwhile, I've been filling the forum with all my drama about this home-sale thing ... beating
myself up over my "big ideas" leading me to impulsively list my house ... then hire a contractor
and feeling stressed trying to get the house ready to be painted (pant! pant! pant!).
Well, today one woman in my AA women's group told us she attempted suicide last week.
Another is potentially facing jail time. It stopped my self-pity in its tracks, and I started to
laugh at myself.
"OH, NOOOOOO! I'm running behind in getting my house ready for a CONTRACTOR to
come paint & fix things for me."
Oh, WAAAAHHH!!
I need to be grateful and count my blessings:
- -- I am a beloved chid of God, who gives me what I need (not everything I WANT!
)-- I am healthy and have a healthy son, DIL and grandsons.
-- I have an income, health insurance and free time to travel
-- I have a stick home AND an RV that allows me to I travel six months out the year
-- In each, I have magic handles which deliver hot and cold fresh, drinkable water to me and waste is magically whisked away
-- In each, I can turn a knob and be bathed in warm OR cold air
-- I have friends in communities across the country, AND ...
-- I have the friendship of wonderful, beautiful, independent, strong, brave women on this forum.
Thank you all for supporting me through my whiney luxury problems.
