Living, Loving, & Laughing at Life in Recovery
Good night 37, it was a good year.
Some highs & some lows, but feeling more & more serene with each passing year.
Gratitude comes quicker. I don’t stay mad as long. Starting to realize there are no big deals nor small miracles.
See you on awakening 38, let’s try and work some more on inner love & peace this year!
Sitting here looking at our “purple mountain majesty” and being grateful I can do so!
Thank you to all the men & women and their families past & present who have sacrificed so much for this country and everyone in it.
Today and every day my freedoms run deep.
Today is a day where I am reminded to be thankful for my predecessors, who have fought so diligently to give me all I have and to protect all that as well.
I might not always be proud or happy with the “little things” but when I look at the big picture I am reminded of the challenges we have faced and the progress we have all made as a whole.
Although we will always have our trials and tribulations our country’s pride and heritage run deep and I am so proud to call myself an American.
So on this celebration of Independence Day I ask while you are enjoying your family, food, fireworks, and the great outdoors to please take a moment to reflect and give thanks to all those that have lost their lives and for the families who’s members they’ve lost protecting us folks and the country we choose to call home.
So here’s to the red, white, and blue and God Bless the good ole U.S. of A!!!
The past 7 days have been mentally tough in this brain of mine.
I was starting to doubt a decision I made a little over 5 years ago. Through taking action, as faith without works is dead, God has been showing up in many ways to reassure me that that decision was right.
Just for today, as that’s all I really have, I am again continuing to stay on this path. Many a message was so clear, including two different hand written, snail mailed, letters I got yesterday.
Thanks God and thanks for your two angels who helped to reassure me. I can see clearly again ;0)
Happy 11 months to my bay boy
Last night on his last day of being 10 months, he took 10 steps while drinking out of his sippy cup!!
This morning’s memory NOT so good! Yup he grabbed his poopy diaper and let’s just say yay for wet wipes & bleach wipes for the wall! Needless to say being a mom is the best gift I’ve ever received and it has blessed me to laugh (even at the sh***y stuff) ;0)
It is absolutely amazing what a shift in ones perception can do.
I went from tears to euphoria in 1 hour with my “adoptive family”.
I then proceeded on to one of my oldest & dearest friends’ house, where we laughed, cried, spoke of trials and tribulations and the wonder of motherhood and the long journey we’ve had together.
Staring at the miraculous moon and singing at the top of my lungs in joy on my way home! I am so grateful and full of faith right now.
Thank you universe!!
Being wrongfully accused of something is just devastating especially on the day I get to celebrate 5 years of an honest, loving and fulfilling life.
Thank God I have a network of friends who know me and would not believe this nonsense. Although my pride is hurt from my character being questioned, today I have faith that me & God know the truth.
Not going to get into details as that would make me just as wrong as the individual who put me in this uncomfortable place. I will say if you hear any thing about me that you’d question, please inform me…
