Welcome back Purp.

Some enlightening moments this week for me. I received a small promotion at work and they announced it this week to the dept, with a little champagne get together on the balcony. The next day was our 32 wedding anniversary. I avoided alcohol on both counts...remembering that the beauty of the moment can really only be felt without being numbed out.

On the balcony I held a bottle of water in my hand for the toasts. “I’m on a diet” was my answer to anyone handing me a flute of bubbly. I did feel awkward but alas, that’s the real me. At dinner, my husband invited our youngest daughter...making it easier to not drink. I was the driver.

Two months sober on Monday and I am so happy. I have the whole week off this week and I can’t wait to relax and have some fun here at my staycation!

Casey I just ordered the classic nes Nintendo and I’ll be playing me some Zelda. Mwhahaha!
