Gratitude!


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
