[glow=red,32,300]One of the best ways to get out of the self-pity trap is to do some "instant bookkeeping." For every entrt of minsery on the debit side of our ledger, we can surely find a blessing to mark on the credit side: that we enjoy, the illnesses we don't have, the friends who love us and who allow us to love them, a clean and sober 24 hours, a good day's work. If we but try, we can easily list a whole string of credits that will far out weigh the debit entries which cause self-pity. Is my imotional balance on the credit side today?[/glow]
