God who loves me~

Busy day at work, skype with our Colorado kids, dinner, home, and "words with friends". I love scrabble~ off to rest, watching medical shows. Hoped to make a bracelet..maybe tomorrow. Merci for your love God~ I am blessed~

God who knows what I need~

Merci God for the women in my life~ We had our first official "new" AA meeting at my house today. It is beyond me that an AA meeting that I had attended for 15 years became intolerable. It did and there's no reason to look back and recount the why's. It just was, for many of us. With a feeling of great loss I knew I could not return to that meeting. I needed something healthy~ It began today with four of us, it was loving and refreshing. We have much work to do; pick a name, format our desires, and most importantly, follow the AA way as Bill and Bob would want us to do, with respect for "the program" and for each other, providing trust and safety to all who join us in the months to come. For now we need to heal and it began today.. I skipped for the first time in a long stretch of Wednesdays. Merci God for knowing just what and who I need.

God who carries me~

I wonder if I have melancholy. I copied a friend that just used this word, so I took it for now, for wondering. I've been home all day, peaceful, and wondering if I couldn't just stay here forever, from now on. I am overwhelmed with the craziness at work, concerned really that what I hear and what I see hasn't just worn me out, because I am. I feel I need lots of space and lots of time with me~ and my sweetie. I feel I need to leave work, do something else but I feel mad about it. When a system is so toxic I think it should be changed...no one has to be kept, decisions can be made..and why not? Not my decision, but it is my impact~ The people I serve, deserve me and the others that do so much. That's it for today, just some thoughts and maybe the beginning of change.

Skyped with the Duncan's...pure and simple joy! Merci God for loving us as you do~

God who carries me~

My days at work are becoming harder and harder for me~ "A basket full of Misfits" is what our staff was called by one of my favorite nurses yesterday and it carried in to today~ I could never allow myself to think of me that way...just because I do the work I do because of my own experience. I see me as a hero of sorts to others struggling with addiction as I once did. A role model..one day at a time...and in the world to help, to share that health and happiness are possible with our "simple program". I am ever so grateful..and love my journey, no matter what it brings. It is good to be~ Merci God, for being who you are to me and to my family~ Peace
