Old-ish Dog, New Tricks

I handled a pretty difficult situation last week pretty darn well.

Better, I think, than I would have a few years ago, or maybe even a year ago, hard to know.

It wasn't easy, nor was it fun, but I worked hard to react differently and to stop or slow the less helpful thoughts and habits and I'm taking a moment to pat myself on the back for that.

Sure, I know this is a bit vague but it's still the holidays and I don't feel like getting dark and sad right now so we'll go with this instead.
