i am content as long as I don't compare my circumstances to yours. If I compare myself to myself then I can get very grateful. When I compare how I was when I was drinking to how I am now it really
makes me grateful and content with out beeing jealous. Are you content or jealous??? Please let me
know! Thanks----Mistyeve

Interesting Misty...when i compare my situation to others i get even MORe content. I dont feel sorry for me.Monday somebody said that to ME.
When i got home from work on Monday my husband was drunk and passed out. It was the first drink in 6 months. It really caught me by surprise. I was ticked because he had fallen in the hallway on the way to the bedroom and went thru the paneling in the wall. It's paneling that looks like wallpaper and i lvoe it. The hole is huge. he had no idea there was even a hole or he had fallen. George was still in the cage, the back door was closed so rocky and Smokey could not go out either. He was supposed to feed them that morning and their bowls were empty. I was disappointed he had relapsed. But i was ANGRy that he had neglected the dogs and ruined the wall. (They dont make that pattern now and we'll have to have the whole wall replaced.) My f2f was Monday night. One lady was frazzled over moving and closing on a house, etc. She said. WOW..my life is good since i hear about yours. At least my kids and dogs were taken care of today and my husband did not drink.
Sharing and lsitening to others keeps me humble. I am content. I'm not jealous at all.

Jealousy is such a nasty thing and I have been the recipient of other peoples critique and poisoned tongue and glares. I am content within myself and although I don't always have acceptance of myself, I certainly wouldn't change places with anyone else.
I lost a bit of contentment on Monday when I got a call to say the funding hadn't gone through for me to start school. I was told I would be put on hold until the paperwork went through. The okay had gone through but the system was slow. Ended up it was a day slow, I got a call yesterday afternoon that I go for assessment next Monday. God's time not mine for sure.

Afternoon Mistyeve,
Been rich, been poor. It's not the material things that count .... It's the richness in your heart & soul that matter. Showing care and have compassion for other people, sharing yourself, your love. My heart is full and I am content.
Love & God Bless,
Arlene
