This is a metaphor, my lesson. I go to buy a book on handling disappointment and when it arrives in the box, I open it to see that it's empty. A learning lesson? Yes, this is how I handle daily disappointments and how no one can help me, but myself.
I exercise, and walk to pick the kids up from school, I lift weights, and I eat healthy good stuff. I notice a huge difference in handleing my disappointments are better. Although they still sting and hurt, the pain hurts less. I am growing a maturing. Being the LAST cousin to know what my cousin is having (a girl) hurt. It means I am not close or considered important enough, especialy since she contacted 3 of my other cousins first privately. That is fine. I can handle it. That baby is a special baby and will be blessed with love and gifts from 2nd cousin me :-) I WILL turn the other cheek.
Dealing with daughter #1, I feel disappoinment that I can't enjoy movies with her, our private jokes and going to McDonald's even for a shake or cone. All gone. No more fun and I miss her. I must deal with disappointment properly. I have a wonderful book by Melody Beattie that has been a life savor. I read and write in the book and I learn so much on how to cope. I AM COPING!!!!!
