I think you're right.
But what about all of those negative, vile people we encounter who seem to be thriving? Thriving in a negative way, of course. I know people who manipulate others & orchestrate drama aren't really happy in their lives but they exist and they get satisfaction out of all of the chaos.

only
you can change your outlook on life, and more than that, your
life. Others may be able to help you, and give you their support, but no one else can
do it for you. And in recognizing
your role in the currrent situation, you have taken the most important step in dealing with it, whatever you decide to do in the end. And, as you know, I for my part wish you, Carl and Pam the very, very best.

It's very true that our negative thoughts can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. I, too, always fear the "B" will leave me or that all of the sudden the rug will be pulled out from under me and my good life will be a distant memory. I should celebrate my good fortune - not fear it's demise.

Absolutely well done and not easy to do either. Good luck for the happy
times that will be coming your way.

Bel;
You go girl. Some times God lets us go through some hard times to bring us into a really wonderful place. He created the world with words. The words you speak are first your thoughts. When you get rid of 'stinking thinking' God can bless you abundantly. Such growth little one. Be blessed dear one.

Bel -
What a wonderful realization to come to. It took a long time and lots of pain for me to reach the same conclusions in my life - and welcome! It's always nice to bump into another stumbler on the Path.

Sometimes it takes hitting me in the back of the head with a 2x4 before I notice certain things. I hope this is the last time that will be required LOL! Thank you so much!

Admitting your part in this unfortunate occurence is the first major step towards fixing it. It may take some time, but I have no doubt it will ultimately get fixed.

Thank you Pat
I think I needed to have a wake up call so I would step back and look at how I have been doing things.

Bel, you are growing and blooming.
To put it a bit crudely, it takes a little sh*t to make the flowers grow, and now that you've had your dose of fertilizer, spring is coming, the sun is out. It will work out. Everyone loves to be around a happy, energetic person (at least after the first cup of coffee in the a.m.) and love is a supermagnet... :)
