The clouds have lifted and the sun is brightly shining. My head is clearing as well, and my eyes are beginning to see the beauty of the light. Promise. Hope. Happiness.

I awoke this morning oddly satisfied and at peace

and am just tired of the roller coaster ups and downs that have plagued my life. I'm tired of fighting with Joel.... my life is just too good to spend any time on his negativity. In the chapter yesterday there was a part that discussed making a specific change in your behavior that will make you feel successful. It said "Perhaps you'll want to mark a check on the calendar to reward yourself a little each day. At the end of the week you can look back and say , "I accomplished it! I've changed something! I'm different in this particular area of my personality." I'm going to take that literally...and while it's probably slightly ridiculous to you, I am going to give myself a little check on the calendar for every day I succeed in my goal...and after ten check marks -- I'm going to do something special for myself.

What is my goal, you are just dying to ask!?

are you ready for this....

....here it is....my behavior to change....my reward depends on....my goal is....

I WILL NOT TALK RUDELY TO OR ABOUT JOEL.
