I've been feeling like the Grinch and Scrooge combined, not feeling the Christmas spirit at all this year. I expect things to be a certain way and when they aren't I get annoyed and frustrated, feel hurt and ganged up on. WELL...today I bent to the change instead of fighting it. And lo and behold as soon as I did that I felt SO MUCH better! I no longer felt frustrated, no longer felt rushed, no longer dreaded the Family time and began looking forward to the evening and tomorrow =)

Then I came here and saw this post and remembered once again that I need to stop and count the things I'm thankful for. My life isn't perfect and things don't always go as planned, I can't control others, but I deal with it sober and that feels good. I'm thankful for my Friends here at SR and I wanted to let you all know that~

Merry Christmas
