Christmas Eve. Hm. Seems a lot like yesterday.
Except I'm having ribeye and an omelet for brekkie. I don't often have ribeye for breakfast.
There will be no alcohol anywhere near my lips today.
Courage, I could use a palm tree right about now, I have cold air leaking around my door, and it's brrrr.
*stuffs cardboard in cracks*
Happy holidays, peace on earth and all that.

Is this what you wanted, biminiblue?

Of Mere Being
The palm at the end of the mind,
Beyond the last thought, rises
In the bronze distance.
A gold-feathered bird
Sings in the palm, without human meaning,
Without human feeling, a foreign song.
You know then that it is not the reason
That makes us happy or unhappy.
The bird sings. Its feathers shine.
The palm stands on the edge of space.
The wind moves slowly in the branches.
The bird’s fire-fangled feathers dangle down.

I host Christmas Eve at my house every year. I used to love getting lit on this night. I have to tell you, though, that being aware of what's happening is way better, plus I LOVE being clear-headed on Christmas morning when the kids open their presents.
I'm not drinking or using today!

Don't mind my grinchiness.

badgerden, last Christmas I think it was when I saw my siblings & there was a lot of liquor around, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen cleaning up, with my hands in the warm water in the sink. For some reason, being up to my elbows in suds takes cravings right out of me.
Hot showers, too.
And whenever you want a drink, you can stuff a brownie in your mouth instead. You'll gain weight but it's worth it!
p.s. gregknight, no one minds a grinch on this thread -- we all have our moments. Just stay clean and sober, and you'll be perfect in my book.
