Let's see... surgery, marriage, career shifts, crappy management at an otherwise pleasant job. Lol.

Hi, guys.
Home, had dinner. Then settled another money related issue - one more debt off my shoulders!
Now looking for another cup of tea and some errands to have a more productive morning and overall day tomorrow.
Lots of great posts here, so I read and enjoy.
Ken, this one really hit home hard for me:
" Joy comes in many forms and in many colors. It may not look like I expect it when it arrives. It certainly doesn't need to look like everyone tells me it should. "
And I came across a quote today which, I think can help when we are suffering with forgiving ourselves for past mistakes.
"Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past." —Tyron Edwards
See you all)

I plan to leave in 6 months, but it was oh so tempting for a hot minute to just pack my trash today.

Sadly, if that were taking place in America, I'd fear some of those guys might be shot.

It's the same guy - just clips from different years. Never heard of him before today.

My uncle tells a story of me watching TV one Christmas Eve at my grandparents' house, and there was either mention of Santa, or a picture of Santa in the sky in his sleigh, on his way to deliver presents... I ran through the house, flung open the door, and yelled outside... "Santa, don't leave!! Don't forget about me."
So cool about the full moon First since 1977! I shared on Twitter just now.

I had am aftercare meeting today. I don't feel well right now. Of about 16 of us, about 5 had relapsed recently. Our therapist looked tired. I asked him privately if he was ok. He told me that he is wrecked because this is his busiest month. Also he did two radio shows today warning people about the dangers.
Another woman there is a nurse. She told us about a patient - a mother in her 50s - who is now in a vegetative state for life as a result of alcohol. She said it could be ant one of us. And I'm sitting here reflecting on my life. I had seizures as a result of alcohol. I could have died. But I am here and I have been given a second chance, for some reason. I will figure out my purpose in life. And for that I'm very grateful this Christmas.
