24 down and 24 more to go!
"fear, like pain, is a beautiful thing. Pain tells us what it is in us that hurts so that we can heal it before it destroys us. Fear signals us where we need help before we attempt to take on a world that is so much bigger than we are."....
...."courage is the ability to survive weakness, strength is the ability to weather fear. In fact, if truth were known courage and strength may simply be the by products of peril, not the internal arsenal we build up to defend ourselves against it all. Courage and strength may come after the fact. Once we have been scared to death by something and bested it may be when we really get courage. Once we've found out that strength is something that comes from faith, once we've braved the worst that life can deal us and have endured it-then, may be when we discover that we have become strong, not because of ourselves, but despite ourselves."
here is to a brand new month
and day 7
Was a wonderful day! I started out with a favor for a family member. Then, babysat my nephew, by choice. Today, I was a nice Aunt and not mean, testy, hungover Aunt. The difference in quality time is unmatchable. The Aunt my nephew deserves goes unsaid. xoxo
I hope you all had beautifully sober days as I did.
Congrats to the milestoners!
Prayers, as always, for the ones who still/are suffering.
