When It's Too Difficult To Keep Swimming,

We Can Say What We Need To Say. We Can Gently, But Assertively, Speak Our Mind. We Do Not Need To Be Judgmental, Tactless, Blaming Or Cruel When We Speak Our Truths.

Gratitude Makes Sense Of Our Past, Brings Peace For Today, And Creates A Vision For Tomorrow.

Today I Will Not Wait For Someone To Come To My Aid. I'm Not Helpless. Although Help May Come, I'm My Own Rescuer. My Relationships Will Dramatically Improve When I Stop Rescuing Others And Stop Expecting Others To Rescue Me.

It's Hard To Give Up The Self-esteem Connected To Being Codependent And Appearing 'right,' Which Is Probably A Survival Behavior Learned From Growing Up In A Crazy Family. It Feels Like You Will Actually Disappear.

Gratitude Unlocks The Fullness Of Life.
