Hi all... Life is good, yet tiring. My son is happy and healthy, poops a lot, screams a lot, etc etc... the usual baby appetizers. My partner and I are doing very well, both of us working our program and doing the best we can.
I ran a meeting yesterday, and it felt good to understand that life is what I make of it. It was also a great reading in "Hope for Today" 19 Nov.
I wish you all love and peace in this sometimes hectic, sometimes sad, sometimes chaotic holiday season. I encourage you to take time for yourselves and treat yourself to a genuine self-care regime. November is also gratitude month in Al-anon. It is that singular piece of the pie that makes the rest of me sweeter. Without it, I can be sour enough to make your eyes water!!!
Brightest blessings,
your brother in service, cj

I'm glad to hear your little one is doing well with all the normal stuff. My 2yo son has not been feeling well the last couple of days. But still all is well here too. My AH and I are getting to our meetings and working our programs. Our best is all we can do. Progress, not perfection.
I am grateful for so many things. My family is in the process of coming back together. Finances are still a challenge, but we are slowly working it out. AH is able to work and our little business is going well after not knowing if there would even be a business last year. There are so many other things that I don't know where to start. One of the biggest things is that I have learned to accept things that I cannot affect a change in. This saves my serenity.
Take care of you.
In recovery,
