Mornin'!

And starting the day from a place of gratitude and not deprivation...that stuck me huge this morning for some reason. Happy Friday everyone!

Nice thought scrubbly. A place of gratitude. Many people live and overcome big issues; a lot bigger than I have in my life. I'll just be happy for Friday and plan a fun weekend... 5th anniversary dinner tomorrow night, woowoo... (anniversary is actually a week from today).

Scrugg- Gratitude is a wonderful place to be...

No matter one's situation! I don't know for SURE, but I think that we all have something to be grateful for -- and, I admit, I must remind myself!!

I happened to watch Dr. Phil yesterday (don't usually) - but it was all about "addicts"... mainly Hard Core addicts (as in heroin, etc.).

I couldn't help but think... there but for the Grace of God...

While this addiction is not good... imagine Other addictions! HOLY cow. This one young woman was... totally over the top, found someone to give her something at 4 AM before the show...

I don't mean that as a criticism. It's that those (possibly!) heavier drugs are SO much... worse.

I thank God I didn't get there!

It was like our worst addiction - multiplied by 1000. Can't even imagine. She was whisked away to a rehab place (against her will)...

Again, thank you God. Because had I gone that route (and that may have only been about who I hung around with!)...

Oh gads.

PS - Greenie - love your attitude! Sorry I brought it down... to Reality.

Y'know I LOVE all the positive stuff - but... sometimes it doesn't seem that real.

It's real for YOU, but not so much for others. Just saaAYYyiiin.

Savvy, it IS be real for you and others. That choice is always there. That's why I am here after just days away from a year AF. To encourage you to see the positive stuff, think the positive stuff, do the positive stuff. Keep trying savvy, it is so very real.

Ugh.

I mean by that.. I went through Grief.

And (for those of you have done or are doing.... very ugh.)

Sorry to be such a downer here. Just where I am.

I'm getting beter, sort of.

Not really - in some regards. and that is way more Important than some who just can't get it about their job, their husband?, or whatever...

It's very relative, I guess. And my HURT is probably nothing compared to those who can barely eat, etc.

Gawd. I wish I Understood such things... And I try. But.. can't.
