The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I went out for a meal with a friend from a now disfunct face to face, one of my non alanon friends is just going through a real sad crisis, her happy marriage of thirty years has been blown apart, by infedilitey on her husbands part, this friend has been through thick and thin with me, and I would go as far as to say she has mentored me through many troubled times, her wisdom and strength humbles me, I have been reading her courage to change, each day and quotes, I always laugh, I say she wrote them, anyways I asked my alanon friend if I could bring this person with me, and she replied yes of course the more the merrier, immediately we all met up my alanon friend extended such warmth and care to my friend, cuddles were so needed, and they were plentiful, later another alanon joined us, and the warmth of her heart too was in abundence, there is something so special about you people, and I can't ever have enough praise and graditude for being part of something that is just so magical.
My friends heart is broken right now, but still we all laughed hard, it was always me that thought I had the bad marriage, and here I am still married and feeling so much gratitude, and appreciation for all I have and all thats gone before, I have started getting very honest, I mean really honest with myself through all of this, when thoughts come that I feel love for my family I send a text, make that call, I tell them, and let it go, and along with this has come acceptence of just what is, I look forward to each day now to see how I can alanon it, we are all where we are supposed to be, until we are not, and it just gets better and better.
much love
Katy

What a wonderful evening, it's amazing when our HP works through us to reach out to others. HP always gives us what we need when we need it. :) Thanks for the share :)

((((((Katy))))) That come from right inside of the Al-Anon declaration, "When anyone anywhere reaches out for help, I want the hand (and hearts) of Al-Anon to always be there; and let it begin with me."
Wow--what an amazing post. Thanks for sharing!! I feel lately I am not reminding myself to be grateful and have begun again a daily inventory. This message came at the right time.
