we weren't two of the 700 who've gone over the edge...

Today I'm grateful

-for the opportunity to walk and talk with my daughter several times a week

-for the depth and health of our relationship--which is a direct result of the 12 Steps and lots of work

-to be in a healthy relationship with a healthy, loving man with 18 years sobriety--first healthy relationship I've ever had. It took me learning to love myself and being in a healthy relationship with myself before I could love some one else

-that he and I start every day with a 12 Step meditation and the Lord's prayer in person or on the phone

-that less and less I feel responsible for the results and effects of my sons' actions. My holding myself responsible for what THEY do or not do--Is that crazy or what? At last I am able to recognize this in myself when it happens--and only then am I able to surrender them to my Loving God

The pic is us at the Grand Canyon in May--an amazing trip full of spiritual awakenings...
