Good Morning Everybody. I hope everyone is doing well today. I saw that there were problems getting on Sunday. I have had intermittent trouble getting on since December 31st. Wonder what's up?
I am in a whirlwind and probably won't be around much this week. As some of you know, we had decided to become a messianc jew. My son has decided to take the plunge and we are celebrating his bar mitzvah Saturday. He had asked me to help him with his studies and we have been burried in that for weeks. And now its all the details of the party. Yesterday, my husband, my son, and I, made lunch for his upper school faculty. Even though there are only 400 boys, there are 110 faculty!!! And no, I'm not superwoman. I owed it to them. When my son was in middle school, my business collapsed. It was very public, and this is an extremely prominent school. We fully expected them to "disinvite" our son. Instead, they circled the wagons, supported my son and my family, and really helped us through. For years, I couldn't really do anything special for them because things were so tight. So, we thought now that our son is graduating it would be our last chance to do something for them. So, we made 8 pans of lasagne, grilled chicken caescar salad, homemade garlic bread, 6 cakes and a vegetarian counterpart. Then our son came home and he and I worked until late last night on bar mitzvah stuff. So, I am exhausted!!!!!
Drinking wise, well -- I am still meeting the goals I had set for the end of last year, but I haven't even started on my New Years Resolutions!!!!! I'm trying not to beat myself up about it, but I won't pretend I'm not disappointed in my total lack of will power!!!
I hope everybody is feeling better today. I love you all so much. What is about this year that it seems so difficult to get off to a solid footholding on the New Years commitment? Is it just me? If anybody is having success in getting off to a stellar year, I should would love to hear about it -- what are you doing -- how are you getting it to work?
Love to all,
MM

- I understand what you are saying about not getting off to as great a start as you might have wanted to on New Year's rsolutions. While I have not been drinking, I had also committed to eating better and exercising. I have not been doing that. It's like, I am allowing myself to do whatever I need to do to be comfortable while not drinking. I really really need to get committed to an exercise routine esp. because I know it will help my mood and anxiety. For some strange reason lately I am having some anxiety issues - panic etc. I hate it! 
- clearly, I do...
