Well this morning I was slow moving... Couldn't be my Mo Jo together to get up and get my feet in "Go" mode... Well after hitting the snooze button several times, my handsome son comes up the steps with the look of "Mom Is Still In Bed?" So I carried my lazy butt down the steps and hit the shower! not high on energy, but new after I hit my "Hope for a Today" and my other morning readings... I would get there...
Well after my readings I did feel much better, and a couple posts from another page I was on...
Then my baby sister emailed me and said... " I thought that you could use a Morning Laugh"... Well I read it out loud to myself, and I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair... She is the funniest person I know... And after all the "Trauma" we have been thru with Dad's passing and the "A's" ALL Around us, her & I have always found a way to Laugh at the "Craziness" around us...
I know that my HP knew I needed that pick me up, as did my baby sis...That is one relationship I have NEVER been sorry I pursuid.. See My baby sis and I never grew up in the same house, and she took over roll as "Daddy's Baby Girl"... (Which I will admit I had mixed feelings about her taking my name) But I have been nothing but blessed since we got to know each other... She is 21 and the smartest and brightest girl I know...She hasn't Were the banner as "Alcoholic", and she has had every right too... But she Rose above.. And I couldn't be prouder...
I guess I just needed an "Pick me Up" this morning, and I am sooooo glad that I have slowly learned how to Look at, & Apprieciate, the Smaller things in life...I have Al-anon to thank for ALOT of that... I use to have alot of "Dreary" mornings, but "Letting Go & Letting God", has really brought me around to a better way of thinking and a Better Way of Life...
Thank you all my Alanon MIP Family, and Thank you HP for seeing me thru... This is one heck of a ride....
i don't have a relationship with my sisters at the moment. I'm working through lots of issues from my chldhood. I hope in time to be able to move towards engaging on some level. You are very mature to be able to accept all the mixed feelings that are sometimes present in those relationships. Good for you.
(((((jozie)))) glad ya got it together:) Laughter is a wonderful thing for all of us and should be a part of our everyday life:).......glad it was part of your morning.
keeping it simple shelly

I have a pretty "cool" little sis too. I haven't been keeping in touch with her lately. Usually when we talk on the phone we end up laughing our heads off. She recently got a new house after years & years of wanting one. I am so very proud of her for sticking with it and believing in herself! Anyway, thanks for the inspiration for me to talk about my little sis, who just turned 39 on Tuesday! Bless her almost 40 heart! Kathleen
