AA rocks

I love the fact that I am still alive...folks that I went through initial beginnings of my recovery...are now dealing with brain, pancreatic and lung cancer...still smoking, still drinking,,,had a difficult time dealing with personal issues and never did deal. I am very thankful for my desire to surrender and knowingness that all things do pass...good and bad, but to make the most of today...creator, thanks! Mitakuye Oyasin...thanks for making me Irish and Indian :)

time for gratitude...always

Sometimes, the snow gets in the way...the cold makes us shiver....we push the snow out of our way and cover ourselves up to keep warm...be grateful for the state of mind to be able to take care of self...and hopefully you have some left over to take care of your family and your community. Lend a hand.....pay it forward...it never hurts. Smile, just for the fun of it. Today, is a day like no other...make the most of it!

Up and feeling better!!

Wow, head colds are a trip...felt like I had a fever all day yesterday, chills, etc. but, when I got home from work, I was "normal"...ok, no comments on that.
I can't wait to hook up with Dykes on Bikes, plan our adventures for the summer, and just sit around and BS...great times, great women!
I am so happy to be a dyke. Now, a dyke in full blown menapause...but, really, wasn't that the deal all along??? tee hee!
All dykes should have an in-service about this...it resembles early recovery, at its finest. At least for me, horrible mood swings, crying, laughing, sweating (sometimes changed 3 full sets of clothes in a night and the sheets), making stories up about loved ones, low self-esteem, and all the while, knowing it is all "not real." just hormones fucking with me. (and with everyone else). I have mucho gratitude to my life partner, who just keeps rowing the boat, and knows..."this too shall pass!" I love 12-step peeps, and 12-step friendly peeps. Life, one moment at a time.
Got my taxes done, and e-filed! Good returns this year...beats paying out my butt like I did last year...well, not really...I made them wait until the returns this year. Not that they liked that or anything. But, it worked for me.
Gratitude...spring is right around the corner...I have my flight set for New Orleans...conference time...yeah! I am grateful that my mind is clearer today.

gratitude in the face of a serious bad mood

Fucking dogs had me up all night. I am sick and tired of it. Sore throat and I do not feel good. Now I am exhausted. what fucking fun.
But, on a gratitude note.
I have a job.
I have two sons that love me and I love them.
I have a partner who is true.
