Well I got to actually go to work today. But the next week looks grim.
January is loaded with so much fianacial demands it isnt even funny.
I am going to reapply at that call center tomorrow. I can do that a few nights a week to make up the slack. Thats if they dont find anything too crazy on my record.

So what else is good?

I am not letting this money/job crap get to me. I start to see myself get stressed and I just have to say F it. Literally. I mean..What else can I do?
I sure the hell am not going to make myself sick and crazy over something I cant do nothing about right now.

Ha Ha Horselover - a bouncy smiley!!!

Well I managed to retrieve my ring even though it had been run over by a supermarket trolley or an elephant in hob nail boots - long story. Better to have it back bent up than not at all.

It's significant because it's the last piece of proper jewellery I own. Just before I got sober I tried to sell it to buy vodka. That wasn't meant to be. Today I phoned a store where I thought I might have lost it and they had got it. So I wasn't meant to lose it today. I wonder what the message is here?

Well today was rough, another fam member in the hospital. I'm really tired of doing the local ER tour. Anywho.. what's good?

A huge bowl of frosted flakes for dinner, reading a new book that I love so far, hubby put a 'post it' note on top of yellow rose petals that he put all over the counter that said "I Love you".. random.. kinda

13 days is good too

Nighty night.

Just for this moment, it's all good!

Gotta take my son to the orthodontist this morning, good teeth are pretty good. I'm glad I've got the common sense to take care of my body.

I was driving home from work, this morning, and heard a song that came out when I was using. Thought of my life, back then, and what it's like, now. It may seem boring to some, now, but coming home to my family, 3 cats and the dog, paying a few bills, and logging onto SR....life is very good today!

Hugs and prayers!

What is good today? I am taking my kids to the mall and their friends to spend their xmas money. I know I will be very cranky by the time we are all done, but it is so nice to just be with them and be sober and I am going to the food place at the mall and PIG OUT!!! Just for today!

I have a chance to make a wonderful new life this coming year and it's tons of hard work but I'm willing to choose healthy even when I don't think I can.

What's good today is keeping my neighbor's two dogs overnight so they can go out of town. They are nice dogs and I'm glad to do my lovely neighbors this favor. Besides, my dogs like having the company.

I have this night all to myself so will watch a movie and eat chips. What's good about today is that it's so much better than one year ago, when I was working on getting smashed. One year later and I don't need or want to drink. I have fun just being sober! And won't wake up tomorrow feeling horrible.

Made it to the 1st AA meeting this afternoon, and lived. Pizza, chips, ice cream, wii, movies, and 2 six packs. 1 Henry's Root Beer and 1 Henry's Vanilla Cream. I think I will actually remember tonight when I wake up in the morning and will not have to find my clothes..don't ask.

I'm glad this year is over, for many reasons. What's good today, it's the last day of the year, whew!

Also had a fabulous dinner with my mom, dad, grandpa and brother.. During the meal there was a poet reciting commonly known poems, song lyrics etc.. and it was just awesome to sit there with family, sober, good food, twinkling leftover christmas lights in this very old house turned restaurant listening to him recite the words to "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. Here:

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin......i love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more.....than Ill never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky

And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

I'll tell you whats good TODSAY..Seeing how this is the first day of 2009.
I juts got home from my aunts. OMG You guys.

We had so much fun. Laughing like crazy. Ate so much food. Lots of kids to make us laugh. Played Rock Band. I even sang..LOL.

I did alot of looking around at my family. Especially my lil cousins. Just observing and being aware of how just being there with them made me feel.
I cant put into words how I felt. I really cant.
But it was the best feeling in the world.

So today..The first day of 2009...Having my wondeful family is what's good.

Happy New year all.

Tuck that feeling away in your heart, and pull it out when you need it

We had fireworks going off, around here. Poor Patches, one of the cats, was outside and thought she was being shot at, so came running to the door. Got all 3 cats inside, on house arrest. Three teenage girls in the basement, doing who-knows-what, and the dog hiding under her blankie (scared of the fireworks).

I'm ending 2008 in a good way, and starting 2009 off the same way

Hugs and prayers!

I have the patience and understanding to deal with my grams today.
It is a new year. Tine for new beginnings. And I have decided that my attitude and how I let things affect me is the first thing I will start with.

I am going to eat this rockin home made mac and cheese. Then take a nice nap.

I got alot of work done around the house again today. And outside.

Life is good today. And it is only going to get better.

Sober, clean and I don't have to go to work. Yay!

I just got back from an hour long walk.

It's very cold, well below freezing, but the sky is blue and it was wonderful to be outside enjoying the world.

After getting very little sleep, thanks to 3 teenagers running around all night, I got up and took care of some things I've been putting off. It's a beautiful, sunshiny day outside.

I'm looking forward to this new year. I'm going to try to keep focused on where I want to go instead of looking back at where I've been, except as a reminder of how far I've come. I have a tendency to beat myself up for things way too long, and it gets me no where. I did it, it's done, and it's time to move on.

Hugs and prayers!
