in years past i always thought i had all the answers to all the questions posed to me about my life situations. i wouldnt follow anybodys lead cuz i knew what was best fer me. the problems, as funny as it may sound, were mostly problems that plague any human livin at any given time....
for me, acceptin success or failure has taken a different meanin in my life as i have grown in recovery. though i may still feel the enlightenment of a job well done or the disappointin sting of failure, i do not need to react to either as i had in the past. today i am...
i start each mornin askin for, and listenin for, my HPs will and grace just for the day. this IS the reason why a vast majority of my day i am at peace with life. especially on such a day as Christmas. what a blessin it is to awaken to each new day knowin my...
