Honoring the joy in this day.
Recognizing and sharing in appropriate safe spaces the alcoholism/effects/etc.
Allowing balance of "staying on my side of the street" along with "breaking family secrecy". Praying for wisdom to know the difference, ability to make use of silence today and willingness to speak up when it's Good Obvious Direction.
