Great Post, Coffeenut - happy holiday to ya!

I remember last year - I was so sick
with some ailment the docs couldn't figure out
and I really truly did not expect to
make it through the spring.

Tonight, on Montana NPR
there's going to be a reading
of Dickens' Christmas Carol ...

I'm SOOOooo looking forward to that.

I'm lighting candles,
making some popcorn ...
and gonna listen to the radio
like in the 'old days'.

Tomorrow, it's off to a friend's
for a Native Christmas Dinner ...
Probably buffalo something or other
(which, other than the 'exotic' aspect, I'm not too crazy about)
I'm making 'SouthWestern Cornbread'...
then over to the Boss lady's house
for a cup of tea and a movie.

Unlike many people,
I am perfectly comfortable
with my own company.
I feel for those who haven't reached
this place in their recovery yet-
but I hope when you read this,
you'll understand it's possible.

i've had some really BAD things happen
in this past two months...
and not once
did I see driking
as any kind of solution.

It can happen for all of us!
