| I'm not looking for anyone to DO for me today. I AM greatful that I'm going out to dinner tonight, as I have taken my energy from drinking lately and turned into a pretty good cook, but it takes alot of time and I make HUGE messes that I then have to clean, so going OUT is really awesome for me. But, in the past, I might have felt bitter about having to DO anything (like pick up after someone or do laundry, etc.) but today I find that I am mostly grateful to be sober and my gift to me is that I'm tuned back into life. I can't undo the past, and what others want to DO with that, is no longer in my hands, but I am SO grateful to be a tuned in Mom this year, and that I still have my family here and a wonderful home. I am really grateful that somehow God has helped me SEE that I am an alcoholic and that my only real option is to drink and get worse, or not and get healthy. I thank God that I have turned in the right direction for the first time in my life.
I hope everyone takes what they need today and has peace and some sort of happiness, of any degree. It's not always easy, I know.
Peace out,
Karen |
