Busy busy day! We had flute practice this morning, choir this afternoon, I am meeting with someone from western career college to see if that could be a possible choice for school for me, shopping for a wedding present this after noon. Make dinner, book to a meeting, then come home to meet with my spiritual group.
Busy is always great for me.
Hope you found your branch ok! Are you settling in some?

I've been busy with my pictures on the computer. Another forum wanted to see some pictures of mine. Also reading on here everyday and trying to get the courage to try again. Especially the courage to go to a meeting and talk to my higher power. Talking to my higher power is real difficult for me right now. I have a trust issue with him I think.

Thanks guys for sharing ur day with me
and others here in SR.
Sounds like u all put meetings as a
priority in ur day...which is good.
brians..ur day does seem easy enough to
manage... EASY DOES IT
Brandi...are you studying music in college?
My son will graduate this Spring in Music....
He plays the Trombone.
Barb...what kind of pictures are u doing online?
Are u an artist?
Talking to my HP isnt hard....
I know i havent lived a perfect life....Nor expect
to be perfect.....What ever happened in the past
isnt my HP's fault...He isnt a cruel HP....He is in my mind
a caring, loving HP....
I know i have a disease....mine is called alcoholism...
Not diabeties, or lung cancer...nothing like that....
By disease is CUNNING BAFFLING AND POWERFUL.
It caused me to do all sorts of not so normal
things in my life mainly because i was under
the influence of a drug....God didnt cause this...
Today just like all my life, I know he has been
with me....thru thick and thin...good and bad...
How do i know He is a loving HP....well ive
experienced big and small miracles in my life...
things that i didnt plan for, but happened
unexpectantly.
All He asks of me is to stay sober and share
my own ESH with others...to live life on lifes
terms....To imitate Him.....and turn my will
and life over to the care of Him as I know him.
Quiet times alone without any noise...i can
hear Him talking to me...in my heart, mind and
soul....
Im no holy roly, but its what i feel and believe.

Hi Sharon,
No I'm not an artist. Far from it. LOL I was showing the girls on the cat forum I belong to my beaded Christmas crafts. There kits I get in the mail from my craft company. There's a lot of girls that like to make things with beads on there.
I lost a 1 day old nephew in 2004. I been having problems ever since when it comes to praying. My sister doesn't understand it either. She has had another baby since. My niece is 1 1/2 years old now. My sister doesn't understand why I'm having a hard time with this either. My husband and I didn't want any kids. We still don't. My sister said I have to find a way to move on. I don't know how. It's still very hard for me to pray. I wonder what if god doesn't want to help me get sober.

Well today is Friday!!!
Post on SR.
Work on a project here at work.
Fix dinner.
Set up a meeting tonight, make coffee for it, and then tear down and clean up after meeting...... then of course go home and chill!
scaredykat talking to my HP God as I chose to call him is a snap, He is of my understanding and as a result I know he loves me, he understands me, and he listens to me. He has forgiven me of every wrong I have done that I have asked him to forgive me of, he has given me the power to not pick up and guidance in what he wants me to do throughout my day.
I have no fear of what I understand, scaredykat think about what your HP is, it is your HP of your understanding.... not mine, find someone or something that in your mind has more power then you, someone or something that loves you and cares for you and go for it. Your HP is yours and your alone, there is nothing to fear of something that is yours.

I try not to question what my HP does or
doesnt do......Its like He's my Father and
I respect Him not to talk back to Him...
You know how when we were children and
it was rude to talk back to ur parants...
In a smartie way....does that make sense?
When we were kids just learning about
religion and God....We started out with
very simple examples, pictures,,,,,enough
for a child to understand....
I always imagine my HP in His white robe
sitting under a huge oak tree inviting all
His little children around Him....a calm
simple inviting setting...
His arms around u to listen to u and
comfort you....No scolding, no fussing...
Just smiles and understanding....
We are His children even as adults....He
would never do anything to hurt me.....just
only to guide me....
He's there listening...but He wont answer all
my questions or come to my rescue on a whim...
He will come to me in His time....So being patiant
is important....No im not all that patiant....and
it does get frustrating when i dont get an emmediate
answer right away...
I have to remember all in Hs time....and that if it isnt
His Will for me then nothing will work.
I can try to make things happen for me and the
results will be negative....i will always be unhappy
with my own doings....So when I LET GO AND LET
GOD...of my understanding guide me then the results
are positive.
I know it may sound arkward ....but in time it will
make sense....
I have no idea why things happen as they do...All
I can do is accept it.....not in a bad way....maybe
if that thing didnt happen like it was suppose to happen
then maybe there was a reason and something else
would take its place.....for the better....
Ur little nephew is in a Wonderful place....cooing and
being cared for by our Heavenly Father....So you should
have a warm comforting feeling inside for what had happened.
Continue to ask ur HP to guide you and help you
understand His will for you....The answers will come.
Hope that helps some.... : )

I have always felt that when a baby dies that in Gods eyes they were very special spirits to him and as a result he did not want them to go through the hell life can be for some people as a result he brings them home early.

Taz, that's a sweet and comforting way to look at something so seemingly unfair and tragic. Thank you for putting that out there and into my head.
As for my agenda today: laundry & house cleaning... fun eh ?

My weekdays are pretty routine.
I pick up my kids and take them to my office for a couple hours, then drop them off at school.
Work, work, work;-)
When I leave my office it's off to an AA meeting, sometimes with my children in tow if I have custody that night. We do service work at my Fellowship hall, emptying the trash and cleaning out the ashcans.
After meetings I'll go out for coffee with other AA'ers sometimes, or I'll head home and relax if I'm feeling comfortable in my own skin.
For the most part my days are perfect, and I'm right where my HP wants me to be.
