Hmmmm...
In context I don't think that's what he meant, but you have given me an idea of what he might have meant that will help me talk about it with him.
You said "Once feelings arise in you,...". That may be the point I'm confused on. Maybe he meant that I'm choosing the way that I think about things, and those thoughts are what was causing the feelings? I could choose my attitude which might change me feelings before they arise?
Or, since my therapist has a love of trite sayings, perhaps he just got confused and used two in one day. :)
Don't worry about the bread recipe. I've been so busy lately that I've often just been eating cold dry bread while working. And wolfing down fast food in the car. It's hard to care about diabetes or anything in the future when the days seem challenging enough.
I'm looking forward to trying it in my bread machine, but don't worry about when. Take care of yourself and let your body speak to you about its limits. I'm glad you're mood has improved, though. Is it a change in meds, or the ending of winter, or relaxation about your new home, or just one of those things?
Thanks,
Dinah
