It has been a long time since I posted--I guess it was meant to be that I couldn't get on here for quite a while. I have been busy getting it back together & putting the focus back on me after spending the holidays trying to "run the show"! I did have a lot of people around me to bring in the new year who care about me & of course, don't drink!
I am so grateful today that I can share how I feel & how I think sometimes. I am working on changing some of the things I did last year that were less than pleasing to me! They are not resolutions though. I just need to get my head right. stop beating myself, & move on w/ my life!
God has blessed me in so many ways that I can't count them all!
Just the other day, I believe that God taught me more about gratitude! I believe that he sent a down-& out man into the restaurant that I was in enjoying my coffee on the first day of the new year to teach me something. My mom(bless her heart) bought him a cup of coffee not really knowing his situation & how he got to where he is! I believe in divine-intervention. I believe that I needed to witness all of this to remind of all I have & then some! I have never gone hungry a day in my life! I am so glad that my God has taught me about gratitude & how to look at others as examples whether good or bad! I am so sure that I was supposed to go through whatever I have gone through to grow & mature & become wiser so that I can carry the message to others.
As far as my relationship w/ my Ah. things are good but I am trying so hard to change me that I overlook his needs sometimes. I am not the woman that I was when I got married & he is definitely much better of a person than he was before. I guess sobriety is the answer. And acceptance is the key to making my life w/ him better too. I am rambling today because I have so much to say & so little time to get it all out--more later--tune in for more!
Thanks for the update, and good to hear that things are going so well in your life!

A Huge Mahalo for that...I needed to hear that rather than slip into someone elses negative condition. Gratitude always. ((((hugs)))) glad you (especially you) decided to peek in and share some ESH.
