Dr.Phil Special

Anyone check this out last night? It was pretty interesting. It seemed to me that the doc was less then gentle. But I know that sometimes that works. Shame based behavior seems better dealt with through killing with kindness. Shellye's confrontation made me think about my own tendancies to wittle down and rationalize when confronted. Good stuff.

more lyrics : step 9

I liked the making amends message of this song from Hoobistank "The Reason"

"i'm not a perfect person. there are many things i wish i didnt do
but i continue learning. i never meant to do those things to you.
and so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know
i've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new...i'm sorry that i hurt you, its something i must live with everyday
and all the pain i put you through, i wish that i could take it all away "

I also love the "karma" coming from the only sitcom about real people "My Name is Earl" and his quest for completing his 9th step.
