I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH MY SNAIL MAIL! ON SAT. MY SIS CALLS MY MOM & SAYS THAT HER SON'S B-DAY CARD WAS NOT IN THE MAIL & THE CHECK WASN'T EITHER: SHE RECEIVED AN ENVELOPE WITH NOTHING IN IT. I AM SURE THAT I SEALED THE ENVELOPE BUT I GUESS THE STUPID THING DIDN'T SEAL RIGHT! ANYHOW, I AM OK TODAY BUT STILL A LITTLE FRUSTRATED EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED BECAUSE WE GOT ANOTHER CHECK--CASHIER'S CHECK TO SEND TO THE POOR KID!
JONATHAN'S B-DAY IS TODAY; BLESS HIS HEART & I MADE SURE THAT I SENT HIM A MESSAGE ON FB. HE IS PROBABLY TOTALLY COOL WITH IT --I AM THE ONE WHO FEELS BAD I GUESS.
OTHER ISSUES HAVE COME UP TOO. I AM DISCOVERING THAT I AM NOT VERY PATIENT OR TOLERANT LATELY. I GUESS I NEED TO BE GRATEFUL AGAIN AS USUAL.
AND I WENT TO OUR FRI. NIGHT AA MEETING & SHARED AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT! BUT OK I DIDN'T TOTALLY BLOW IT; I MADE THEM LAUGH ABOUT THE WALK DOWN THE AISLE SONG: HIGHWAY TO HELL! ME PERSONALLY I JUST NEEDED TO HEAR SOMEONE LAUGH SO I WOULD FEEL BETTER. I AM VERY SENSITIVE THESE DAYS, TOO. DON'T LIKE TO BE TEASED OR JOKED ABOUT--I NEED TO NOT TAKE MY LIFE SO SERIOUSLY.
MORE DRAMA! I AM GOING TO THE ALANON MEETING OUT OF TOWN TOMORROW & HOPE I DON'T SAY ANYTHING STUPID! I ONLY SEE THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE ONCE A MONTH SO I FEEL I SHOULD SAY SOMETHING WORTH SAYING. THERE AGAIN, I AM PROJECTING THAT I WILL. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN'T GO. BUT THEY LOVE ME THE WAY I AM & THAT IS ENOUGH FOR ME. SO I AM GOING.
THANKS FOR LISTENING WITH YOUR EYES MY RAMBLING & DRAMA!
Kathleen, I always learn from your shares here. Enjoy the alanon meeting and share if you feel moved to do so. I sometimes get the greatest insight from not sharing. Sometimes I just have to listen.
