24 more for me please. Thank you dear Suze for keeping track of our 24-hr. family!! 
I'm very sorry to hear about your nightmares....xxxx Sending prayers for your BIL and family.
I've been very depressed lately. 2020 has been a tough year on so many levels and with the upcoming holidays I find myself really missing some beloved family members. They've been gone for years and I thought I was past the deep grief stage. I guess not. With deep love comes deep loss. Before sobriety I drank to numb my feelings. Now I know better. So... I feel and grieve. Also I smile for having had these wonderful people in my life.
I had a bah-humbug attitude and didn't feel like putting up decorations or lights. Deep down though I knew if I put something up, anything at all, I would feel better. So I did. My backyard deck now looks twinkly & cheery and I do feel better. The interior is still a work in progress because many of my decorations are cherished family mementos. If the only thing I put up is a small tree, that's progress. Progress, not perfection is another lesson learned in sobriety.
Feelings come & go and it's so important to surf through them without numbing them. I know that is easier said than done. The video posted by Abcowboy really hit home because I haven't felt like making my bed each morning. But I did anyway because it's one small task and it helps me do another and another even when it feels like I'm swimming in quicksand. Thank you Abcowboy for that uplifting video and powerful reminder about doing the small stuff each & every day!
Congratulations to everyone celebrating a Milestone! As dear Leigh will say - This is No Small Thing We Do!!
Hugs & peace & support to all with love...........xxxx.
I'm off to walk my pup and to admire the other xmas lights in the neighborhood, enjoy the quiet crisp night and the beautiful night sky. So much to be grateful for. Sobriety is the gift that keeps on giving.

~~~~"Normies"?....Simply a play on words to suit the burgeoning and greedy liquor industry.
