Post Today I feel good!

Today I feel good. Yesterday I asked God to take away this burden of alcoholism and the problems associated with it. I asked him to relieve me of the burden and to support me in my recovery. A couple of hours later my husband called me and agreed to enter a program for his alcoholism. I am not putting all my hopes in this but continuing on my path. Tonight I am attending a free seminar on divorce. Just so I have the information if I need it.
I feel relieved and hopeful. I feel as if there is hope even if my husband does not follow thru and get his life together.
This morning I went to a spinning class and met a new friend that invited me to join a book club! I have been wanting to do that for years. I know this is God's way of supporting me and giving me what I need.
I wanted to share the good days with you as well as the bad. Thank you for listening and supporting me as well. I think life may be ok after all.

Isn't it great to finally Let Go and Let God and finally start thinking of you. I remember the weight of the burden of worrying about the A being lifted off me when I went to my first meetings. Things can only get better when you start to learn to love yourself. Good luck

~The Rose~

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and You its only seed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dyin', that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes
The Rose.

Smoke, that is one of my favorite songs. I used to play it on my keyboard but I have since lost the shhet music. I couldn't get enough of singing it either.
P.S. Let's do the time warp again, shall we?

The lie is dead...We do recover!

Gettin' Better!

You're ripping my heart out here Smoke.

Hanging on by fingertips and toothpicks,
