Thank you, Bud.

Self care: Sponsor, prayer, asset and gratitude list, 2 reader reflections and share, food, feel my feelings, give and receive support, sleep, exercise - check (well, except for much exercise today part). Icy, snowy roads kept me in for much of the day. I did, however, see my 86 yo neighbor drive past my house this pm. If she could do it. So could I. Drove to the post office and a gas station, drove back home, checked on the cats' stuff in the basement. I was going to do some dancing and didn't. Good intentions just don't cut it, but just for today I had a plan even if I didn't carry it out perfectly. Smile.

Thank you. It is said that we see in others what is within ourselves. I'd say you are also wise and strong and dynamic. I see it in your posts. Thank you, sister, for the prayers and for the hugs.

In my opinion I think you are feeling just a little better now. You have come to terms with the shock of it all and starting a new recovery period. AND with all that went on here and to hear how much we all need you can make the person feel really good inside. I think we all need that little boost of appreciation that can make us glow inside....feels good doesn't it.

If I can't talk about my son sometimes..I would go crazy keeping it to myself and can and will drift back.....but you all help keep me in the now.

(((C)))  I do want to say the truth - I generally feel as if my stomach is stretched from one side of my body to another.  I am not allowing the past or the future to grab my attention and keep my emotions churning as it happened once upon a time, but I can't say I feel better.  Just aware that if I work the program, I can stay present to myself and my life as it is.  Otherwise, I'd probably be vomiting most of the time or simply unwilling or unable to be present in my life.  Thank you for letting me talk about him and how I'm feeling in relationship to him.  You are right.  It is good to be able to talk about our kids together.
