I found this uplifting in a recovery meeting I went too..
We learn the difference to condemning ourselves unjustly and identifying areas to improve ourselves.
Saying that this week is pushing me to my limits my washing machine has just crashed and burned literally had smoke coming out of it..
Lol.. some days you just have to smile and wave..
Oh my goodness I can just picture your washing machine..... My computer in the office bellied up and crashed permanently so I had to dismantle it to protect I mean when I threw it away I had to take the hard drive out and squash it and everything and throw it away and start over and yeah there are some days you just have to smile and wave only I cried and waved but I just thought okay we just start over so I got this refurb and I can't Network it for the life of me but it's a decent enough machine I mean it'll do what I want it to do but bless your heart that really sucked with a washing machine I'm just glad you didn't have a big fire or something
