I don't share often anymore because my life is pretty darn good. But today I wanted to share how blessed I feel. My AH spends winters in Arizona...this is the third year...because of pain issues. We live in northern Minnesota and it can get bitterly cold here. Today, his sponsor stopped by my house and delivered a dozen roses and a Valentine balloon. We have been married 37 years and I can count on one hand the number of times he has bought flowers. How awesome that he remembered and planned far enough ahead to have him do that for me! He left right after Christmas. Makes it even more special! Then my daughter stopped by. I had agreed to keep my 3 grandchildren so they could have a Valentine date weekend alone. She also brought flowers. How awesome is this?!? I had a great day with my 3,4, and 7 year old grand kids. We made rolled out sugar cookies so they could make frosted heart cookies to give Mommy and Daddy tomorrow afternoon. What a mess we made...lots of laughter!!! Did music dance videos of each other, watched a few dog and horse movies, had an interesting supper. LOL! The house is quiet now, all toys are put away until morning, all are asleep. My dog, is exhausted, sleeping by my side. Just sitting here, enjoying the quiet, and feeling so blessed and loved. Thanks for reading....you people give me so much...I just had to share how much my life has improved from working this program. So different from a few years ago and it is thanks to Alanon! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
