Today is my friend Dave's birthday. Go over and wish him a good one. He is such a true blue AA member and truly great guy. (sorry Dave, I know this will make you uncomfortable, but it is true!)
Yesterday I actually had a good day at work. Well, I wasn't in my office, but I was all over the city, meeting and talking with people. Listening to a presentation on how trauma effects us. Sitting in an office doing a site visit. I thought - geez, I am on the other side of this equation now. I know what it feels like to sit on the other side of this desk. So, I can have empathy and try to make it easier for the other person. Just because you have authority doesn't mean you have to act like an authoritarian bureaucrat.
I am going to the icon workshop this afternoon. I have a rescue icon. I hope I can repair him. But I have to admit, it is going to be kind of hard to spend the afternoon in a church basement when it is 73º and beautiful outside. I'll be out this morning - going out with my running club for the first time in a couple of weeks. It will be nice to see my friends and get some exercise. And then I have a date tonight! What an exciting day!
I am grateful to be alive and sober. God has been so good to me.

So glad you are back on the AA beam!
Glad to hear your day went better than expected. I like your proactive approach to the PTSD I am going to have to try that. It may occur, and if it does I will deal with it. It always seems to catch me out of left field lately and my of "dealing" with it is not pretty. Thanks Mary.
I must be living in a different part of Colorado than you - where I am, it has been superdry. We need more snow. (no, I don't want it, no, no, no...) Supposedly another punch is coming in Monday or so.
You sound good. =)
hi MC :-) I LOVE Crocuses, so pretty!
I too am soaking up the amazing weather, knowing it's borrowed time from what's normally a frigid season here.
Be well, my friend!
Beautiful day here too. Nice to be outside without shoes and in a short sleeved shirt. Enjoy the good weather, MC.
What a relief to get to the other side of an equation..whatever it may be.
It sure makes us grateful people, doesn't it!
Sounds like you are starting to get some relief from the changes in your life. A little warm weather never hurts.
Your daily gratitude inspires me . . . and reminds me to stay grateful. Thanks
