I feel so grateful these days even though my life is still kinda crazy! I am tired too. My mom is on her way to her vacation for two weeks! I am glad she is getting time away & maybe this time I will miss her. I struggle a lot with my relationship with her but I do love her very much. My gratitude stems from the fact that God is in the mix and still is doing for me most of the time what I cannot do for myself--recovery is sometimes very slow and we have to start anew sometimes from scratch. What I mean is sometimes I have slips or even relapses in my own recovery and feel like I am starting over. But today I am confident and happy to just be! No matter how tired I get, I am still plugging away at life and keeping positive as I am able. No real complaints about my AH! He is doing well and we are still getting along well even if sometimes I get frustrated with life in general. He and I are best friends. I am so grateful for his recovery and that we can agree to disagree sometimes. I used to think that we had to agree on everything to get along and be compatiable. But today I actually like to not agree on everything! It keeps life more interesting! I hope whoever reads this finds some serenity today! I am still looking for mine. With God's help, I am bound to find real PEACE! One day at a time! Progress not perfection! Hugs Kathleen
