Shine On Baby

This blogging thing has landed me a new job. I am now my husband's "Webmaster."
Spending time exploring new talents has been a great deterrent to my drinking. I am so grateful not to be numb and dumb.

It's amazing how many doors are opening since I closed the door to alcohol. The light is shining in and flooding the dark recesses of my mind. I am amazed at the many things I was missing out on. Reading blogs has been a great enlightenment. Finding time to read is refreshing. Watching movie after movie is good fun (by the way Thank you for smoking is hi-larious!-just got done watching it).

Continually recording the benefits of sobriety are helping me stay there.
I feel compelled to list my thanksgivings.

1. The ability to teach: I tested students today (Saturday) and didn't even feel like I was working. My job is such a blessing.

2. My daughter who is maturing so nicely (She was hell on wheels between the ages 3 and 13).

3. My son who is a mama's boy and is learning to push away, but still has hugs for his mom.

4. My hubby who continues to make me giggle even after 19 years.

5. Parents that keep in touch with my heart.

6. A roof over my head-many are losing their homes right now.

7. Friends like Flora: She is a such a gem.

8. Good health: I am still capable of doing the hard rides (bike) that give my heart flight.

9. Good food: We had a wonderful pre-Valentine's dinner with our daughter tonight. The presentation of each dish was like eye candy and the vegetables were so fresh!

10. Two canine companions that drive us nuts with their barking, but their antics keep us laughing.

11. Rain-we need it!

12. Sunshine on my shoulders (makes me happy and my hubby too). His new business has brought back the man that I married. Thanks be to God!
