Thursday roll call

You are reading from the book Each Day a New Beginning

To wait for someone else, or to expect someone else to make my life richer, or fuller, or more satisfying, puts me in a constant state of suspension; and I miss all those moments that pass. They never come back to be experienced again.
--Kathleen Tierney Crilly

The steps we are taking today will never again be taken in exactly the same way. The thoughts we are thinking are fresh, never to be repeated. All that these moments offer will never pass our way again.

We each have to grab our own happiness, create our own richness through experiences. We may share what we capture with loved ones, but like us, they too must search their own avenues for the satisfaction that lasts. We can neither give happiness to another, like a gift, nor expect it in return.

The fullness of life we all long for is the natural byproduct of living every moment as fully as possible. Our higher power will never direct us into waters too deep. When we have willingly turned our lives and our wills over, we'll find an abundance of the rich, the full, the satisfying. Faith in God answers all questions, solves all problems.

I will cherish every moment today. Each one is special and will not visit me again.

FINAlly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been tryign to get on for the past month and can't get past the screen with my name only to tell me there was an error!!!!!Couldn't even ask for help with it, so not sure if it was my system or what

Anyhow CHECKING IN!!!!!!!!!!! Never thought I'd see this long so happy, well, at least this moment is happy, so we'll take what we can get and call it all happy

Just a little run down since it is hit or miss for me here. The kids are playing ball, so they are keeping me busy running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Only disadvantage is the price of gas going back up slowly but surely.

My nerves aren't as shot as I thought they would be, but I keep truckign through and bitign the bullet.

A friend of mine asked me the other day how I do it. I said, DO WHAT? She says, Stay Sober, while your husband still drinks? The temptation is always there. I told her, and I feel ashamed of it, but I told her I pretend I am a single mom. He's just some guy I have no control over, so if I think I have control over it, I'll try to control it, and in the end, it'll control me. If I think I have no bearing, which I haven't in a sense, then it's less worry for my sobrity.

One thing another friend told me was to get myself better before tryign to save the world Which is what I am doing.
Baby steps.
I just wanted to let you all know I have been thinking of you through the way. I have been able to get here to read, but when I go to reply, it wont' allow me, so I am takign it while I can get it now.

Well, we have a flower sale tomorrow as a fundraiser for our Halloween Parade around here, so I need to go after I get done work in the morning. Another thing that is helping is gettign out of the house for even the littlest thing.

Love Ya's and Missing Ya's. Hopefully I'll be back more in the next few weeks or better yet days.
Take Care
