50%

I have no doubt that God leads my recovery.

None.

He makes sure that the right people are in my path at all times EVEN when I am not deserving of it - or at least when I don't FEEL deserving of it.

At my med check on Monday, our family doctor (who is literally a God send) and I were having a discussion.

We were talking about that awesome lesson I learned last week - 

That feelings are GOOD.

That we can't actually choose our FEELINGS.

That feelings aren't bad, or even dangerous.

Then he said that he was listening to a podcast with a neuro psychologist.

She said this:

If you are HAPPY 50% of the time, you are doing pretty good.

Praise that neuro psych!

Amen and Hallelujah!

He talked about the swinging pendulum.

Our feelings go back and forth and up and down.

Our thoughts create feelings.

If we aren't careful, our feelings create our attitude.

There is no need to worry until we stay at one end, or the other, of that pendulum.

Is that not the best Christmas news ever?!

Y'all are welcome.

So, wipe off your britches.

We have some swinging to do!

Not that kind of swinging...

We have some feelings to feel, though!

And, it's OK!!!
