Appliance breakdown does not equal disaster

Fridge freezer broke down. Had it for a while so I got good use out of it and it gives me an opportunity to try a different arrangement in the kitchen.

It's a real sign of my growth in recovery that I can turn this into an opportunity and not a crisis that would have involved a lot of self talk along the lines of:

"You should have brought a decent make."
"Bad things are always happening."
"Nothing good ever happens. I'm being punished."
"What have I done to deserve this."

This negative self talk would be accompanied by my shrinking into a fearful and depressed ball.

Bloody lovely day out. May see if I can get my shit together for a nice walk somewhere. But I have a job application to fill out...
