I wish I had blinders on sometimes...

Hi family and friends,

Sometimes, I wish I didn't see and hear some of the things I do.  I wish I could ignore some of the insanity that alcoholISM brings to the table of life.

But at the same time I'm glad I get to see it, and not be it.

John

For me that becomes another opportunity to network with HP and turn it over.  What a freedom.   smile

John you are doing so many things right. But we find in our service we have to see some pretty awful things.

I hope the good outweighs the bad for you. Sometimes we get tired, gotta remember those anti stressors.

In rescue/rehab/ and adoption sanctuary work I knew I would see some awful things. But never thought about the awful things people go thru. My goals were many, one that we would help people out. So we had people with cancer who had to give up their animals or one had gotten this horrible mold in her body, another could not remember her name anymore. That is a small sampling.

Glad you came here and got it out! love,debilyn
