[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 752383, member: 23706"] With our kids one good step is certainly encouraging and is probably due to your refusal to pay his bills. Hurray to you!!! I think from experience it is better to live one day at a time. His job is today. Good! This seems to be a good move. Our mind likes to tell us both horrors about the past and forecasts about the future. Staying in reality is best. Staying in the truth of the Now. Accepting what is true today, not tomorrow. If we jump all over every perceived good or bad step they take we live in a fictitious world and are either sad about the past or scripting possibly heartstabbing stories about all the great things they will do in the future. I am working hard on quieting my ego, which tells me these stories, and living in the Now. I try to use my Wise Mind. Google Wise Mind in your search engine. Wise Mind is the best mind. The Acceptance of Now has also changed my husband and me for the better. I think you should smile about today and go on with your life, confident that you are doing the right thing. Enjoy the blue sky, the changing colored leaves, the fresh air, trees and flowers. Don't think too much. And talk to God. Or whatever is your Higher Power. I am glad that today you had a good meeting with your son. Savor it, but keep this in the present. Be well. [/QUOTE]
