what the fuck is a "paid vacation day" even when they're being ridiculous they don't know how bad it is

I reached 1 year at my job. I got a great review from my manager, and have been working hard to be helpful and kind to my teammates. I'm proud of myself. The money's not bad either

forgiveness isn't FOR the other person, it is FOR you This makes perfect sense to me. It's like prayer; it only changes you. Some people don't need it. I'm still suffering though. I need to be practicing forgiveness.

This summer I took good care of my body. Minimized the drinking and eating and got down to my goal weight. I'm going to start lifting again and put on some muscle. My son even complimented my appearance!

My aunt is getting older, and although she's been a caretaker her whole life she's now in a position of beneficiary rather than benefactor. It's been hard for her. She's often frustrated or antagonistic. She rents a room from me and sometimes uses her access to be invasive, such as reading through others' mail or trash contents.

In my childhood I would have fought her. My first thought is "How dare you" but with a little work I understand where her behavior comes from: she's trying to get some power back. It's painful for her to be powerless in old age.

Forgiving her and giving her the same grace I give others has been a challenge. I'm glad I have this now
