But getting in touch with my gratitude this morning really helped to shift it all around.
I am grateful for each new day that gives me a chance to be the greatest expression of who I truly am.
Today I choose love.
Today I choose peace.
Today I choose gratitude.
Much love to all of you.

Waiting is nerve-wracking. Praying for all in its path.

Good evening everyone, just a quick check in before bed.
Had a good day at work, showered, meeting and home for supper and bed.
I’ll be perfectly honest, I’m having a hard time right now. My sobriety is strong but I’m really missing my children and having difficulty with that. My oldest son started secondary school yesterday and I couldn’t be there to see him begin his journey into the big world, or offer encouragement or support, or tell him how proud I am and how much he means to me.
That’s hard to swallow.
Also, since my ex and I separated in October last year, I’ve been living with my parents, not so good but I’m so very grateful for a roof over my head.
They’ve gone on holiday for a week so for the first time, I’m truly alone in the house and it feels horrible. I don’t spend much time here but there’s a certain comfort in knowing that there’s someone else here. So I’m off to bed and hopefully sleep, alarm set for the morning and I have work all day tomorrow which will help, right up until finishing time when the washing machine in my head starts up again.
Sending prayers for everyone in the potential path of the storm I keep hearing about
Thoughts and prayers for anyone struggling tonight
Peace and love
James

You are alive to see (albeit from afar) your son enter secondary school.....that is a miracle.
You are working and doing a darn good job: your boss counts on you....another miracle.
Your parents love you and trust you to be in your home even if they are not there.....kinda huge. And they are supporting you.....really huge.
And you are separated.....you are not divorced. Just look at our awesome zeppodog's story in the last year.....he would never have believed he would be where he is now.....just saying....you don't know what can happen if you keep on this path.
sGoodnight love. xx

Oh man, NGB that’s a heavy post. Sorry for that pain your going through missing all of them & esp the oldest like you mentioned; I can identify with that coz I never got to see mine get into high school & now is going to graduate in a year! I never got to have a chat bout teenage hood & bout being a man. I will keep you in prayer & keep in prayer list since you brought that up. Hang around here & go to meetings pls coz sobriety is the best thing can award em
BK your response is exactly what big bk says pg77:We are people who normally would not mix. I used to be intolerant in my first year: Faith not like mine or their sexuality & of course political bent!! Thank goodness live & let live was drilled into me plus of course love & tolerance is our code(pg84). It’s funny now when guys @ mtgs or work discover I’m a conservative, their intolerance is loud & boisterous, so I just silence em by saying outside issue ie Tradition ten plus I’m always outnumbered so I just smile @ them
SL, Purps, Yukon & anyone else in FL please hunker down & stay safe! We have you in our prayers
Had a fruitful day as I signed up with another agency who said they will prolly have work Tue after Labor Day. My regular agency said that I show up Tue morning. Hopeful my prayers will be answered
24 pls

Hi,
Boy oh boy, Ken & I are going to be sending lots of love & Sunny vibes to Florida & our Family here on SR this upcoming Weekend + beyond.
No hurricane's here. But what a lightening show with loud thunder for a few hours last night!!
Today, Our Boat/Snorkel/Paddleboard/Kayak/ & Beautiful Beach Excursion on Banderas Bay started off as an adventure!!
Pouring rain, big swells & the boat was rocking! Lots of other passengers getting sick. Sweet Ken & I did not feel Seasick, thank the Universe!
The Captain changed itineraries and we end up having a great day.
I'm signing in for my next 24 ....
Bobbi
