It's pretty good, no drama yet (knock on wood). I found a way to further trick out my seizure-inducing spreadsheets, so that's been very wonderful for this little hyper-organized perfectionist. 
I hope your day is going well.

Mine is not bland. 
I got my car back! And the mechanic was kind of an arse to me yesterday, so he gave me a big discount.
Plus, I just made a new friend in the supermarket....an awesome woman who turns out to be a healer....reiki, massage etc. And I am about to start volunteering at a homeless shelter here, and as fate would have it, this woman works there....wow.
One thing that never ceases to astound me: being sober allows me to recover from a really bad day immediately, and I can move on with the stuff of living. No poor me, why me rubbish....just dust myself off and get going. It's magic. A true gift of sobriety.

It IS Briar. Was just checking it out.
Your right V. That's another great benny to sobriety. The ability to move on and grow. Glad your car worked out and your days going well. The stars are aligned!

Yes, BD! And that is such a painful part of being homeless, people acting as though one is invisible. I love that mission trip my daughter did, where they not only served, but socialized, with the poor and homeless who came to have lunch.

I agree with you Leigh. That was quite the nice post by V. And speaking of that, have you volunteered there before V?
Long busy and productive day here, I'm a tired pup. 4:30 will be here too soon!
Good night gang and a happy Wednesday to ya

I'll be
The moment you pause to listen
To the screams of nothingness in beggars' eyes
And become aware - that if you can ignore them
They become all of us in disguise
I'll be that moment in time and space
When we see each other in all we face
I'll be
The lonely shoe along the roadway
And those who ponder its strange fate
Or the lonely soul who has lost his way
And looks for comfort at your gate
And I'll be the door which opens gently
If you're that soul who seeks reprieve . . . .

^^^ Oh Leigh, that is beautiful. ♥
Mark ~ three years ago, when I came to SR, I was very close to being homeless.
And I was very hungry. I got help from services here, and I promised myself that when the time came, I would make volunteering for one of these organisations an ongoing part of my life.
I am going to be helping out in Client Services for Sacred Heart Mission.
As well as studying and working again in aged care.
I made up my mind....actually, I let it go, and the answers came.
