Positive . Feeling in a much better place after talking to you all , Gratitude , so greatfull that you’ve all welcomed me and supporting me , my relationship with my son is getting better slowly
Positive: I am self aware. When you are self aware it means that you recognise your own behaviours and stuff that are negative. It is only when people are self aware that they can embrace change. I learnt that off Debbie. I heard it off other people on Gamcare Helpline but I didn't know what they meant by self aware. Debbie said that often half the battle with some people is recognising they have a problem. Ergo, I'm half way there already!!! Woop!
Gratitude: I am thankful that my dog is eating regularly and seems to be recovering from her own spell of ill health. I see little signs of her getting back to her normal self every day. Last night she went to her bowl in the front room (where we've always kept dry food) and ate from it for the first time in months. Um, to clarify, it wasn't 6 month old food, it gets changed regular like!
One Positive: I have the stamina of an Ox!
