Gratitude to the Monday night girls. Could I be any luckier than I am~ Merci God for always letting me know. I will write more as I process this evening~and celebration of my 16th Sobriety birthday~

God who knows what I need~

What a wonderful Saturday! Home, groceries, Famous Dave's, X Games from Aspen, and World Figure Skating Final..all in the porch with my sweetie, well mostly all :) Merci God~ Merci

God of my understanding~

Oh Gosh, Its been many days since I have written. I've been working, in Denver, and now home~ thankfully all is calm tonight. We lost a wonderful friend this morning, Bill Mason. It breaks my heart yet know that he is now without pain, confusion, and is suredly with the love of his life, his wife Betty. His precious daughters whom have been friends of mine for nearly 45 years are devastated. There will be many talks and memories shared in days to come.

Merci God for taking Bill's hand and delivering him safely to your kingdom, and for walking beside me these past days~ xo

God & I~

Okay, maybe I should start to worry, but I'm not going to~ I took my sweetie to the airport at 4:30am, returned home, had some tea, popped back in bed until 9:00 and was of for PT...and came home as quickly as I could. Read, made some flowers, monkeyed around here, skyped, and thoroughly enjoyed my time at home, again :) When I came home from work last Friday, I didn't leave home until Monday morning, because I had to work! It just feels nice to be here, and to be with me :) Okay, I confess, I work tomorrow so I will be leaving home at 7:00am...reluctantly.

Merci God for the blessings you send my way and that I listen to~ love~xo

God who carries me~

I received my 16 year medallion today from my wonderful friend Linda. What an honor and what a miracle. All due to your handiwork God~ Merci. Dad was going to come to my meeting (our 1st official meeting at St. Ed's) but he became sick overnight with a bad cold and cough. He will come later and say a word or two~ I could not have asked for more from the journey of recovery that has been my road. My meeting last night was good too~ both 1st Step! I pray for one more day~ Love to those who have taken this trip with me. Especially to God and my sweetie, I know I've given both of you a run for your money :)

God who carries me~

I was looking for something that said "worked to the bone"..and ran across this, which I like much better. There are certainly many things that I must look beyond and I'm still practicing that. A long, intense day today at work. Really, they all seem to be like that..but walking out the door gives me a great sense of satisfaction that perhaps I did some good in someone's life. I got a smile from someone whom I'm sure hasn't smiled a real smile, perhaps ever. He deserves it! Kim and I love seeing the changes~ It is wonderful. To say I work hard and feel exhausted doing the work I do is one thing, as those I work with work equally and even harder than I. I can see the wear and tear we each wear on certain days. It just goes with what we do, making it critically important that we care for ourselves, and each other. Off I went after an 11 hours day..to my Monday meeting..a bit late, but I showed up. What a lucky girl I am, and home to my very warm, comfy home and the love of my life. Merci God for giving me the energy to complete what I started today, and to meet the needs of those who asked for help.

God who knows what I need~

Yup~ I love you! Merci God for giving me the gift of love~
