I had a good week...

Just wanted to share that the rest of my week went very well! I had decided that alot of the issues I was having at work was self-inflicted due to "putting" my 2 cents in where not needed.. Or should I say.. maybe it was needed but I need to practice zip'n my lips and let people figure things out. Didnt feel so 'stressed' leaving work and actually was somewhat glad to be there , ya..i know Trying hard to get back to that "happy Go-Lucky" Dana and how that made me feel. Bonding with the teenager tonight.. Going to the 7:30 meeting, then who knows..? This has been my 1st payday in a long time that I may have a little extra to go buy a new pair of tennis shoes....and sandles...and maybe new brown work shoes... OK.. tennies for sure... Hope you ALL have a GREAT weekend!! Dana ps.. I heard back from the one friend that I felt closest too regarding my "coming out" email and as much as I wish I felt her concern was genuine, I felt like she was dig'n for the details of the situation so she could share with her friends.. YES... I know things are sensitive for me right now, but I know thats what that group of girls do as I was once "accidentally" included on one of their emails.. I simply told her that I appreciated her love and support but have decided that I really want to move forward. I havent heard back from her since.. TODAY IS A NEW DAY!!

Sounds like you are learning a lot about yourself. That is part of recovery. Seeing our faults and foibles, and learning to correct them. Shopping is a great reward to the program. Just be sure you don't go overboard. I racked up a ton of debt on my credit cards after my divorce because I gave up alcohol. Just be cautious. Keep up the good work. Hugs, Trish

Thanks Trish!! Fortunate for me, the only credit cards I have are a Sams Club and Sears. Dont care for the selection of shoes at Sears and Sams....well they just dont cover that dept very well!! heeeheee!! happy friday!
