Keep the focus on myself

It has been a while since posting although I was never a constant bloggini. But I have received many gifts from reading others blogs, despite my lack of posts. Currently keeping myself mentally and physically fit is working my program also. Today I plan to walk with J he and I spend quality time
talking to each other as we walk through the park behind our home. We are fortunate to have a large park that borders the ocean it once drew traffic through this area but the road collapsed and was not rebuilt. Things change and I am changing too. There are parts of my relationship that I still find troubling but their have been many positive shifts since working the program. I don't have to take care of J he has his HP and I have my HP. I can be happy even when J is depressed. When I also try to force an outcome our relationship does not work well. He has a resentment and I get disappointed it hasn't turned out the way I wanted it. I can concentrate my energy where I do have some--control
over my own life. This means going out for a walk and enjoying the morning.
One day at a time my life is unfolding and I am trying to be present to what is unfolding for me.
