I'm happy lately. I feel fulfilled in some ways I haven't before, or, not very often, anyway.
Many things are coming together for me. I see very clearly the next few steps I'm going to take. And I know I'll do it.
Why, then, is alcohol coming to mind lately? It's probably because of my co-workers. Some of them mention it casually. And also, doing yard work and gardening have always been a trigger for me.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I have probably the most tragic mother story of anyone I know. It's so tragic, the few times I tell it to people, they can hardly believe it. It's so crazy that it's more fitting for a movie or a book than for someone's actual life.
So, alcohol and mom memories are in the forefront of my mind today. I've pushed aside the alcohol thoughts, and I am at peace, mostly, with my mom.
Guess I needed to write about it.
