Grateful to have a "Full Plate"
Permalink  
 

Honestly I don't know what I would do right now if God hadn't given me SO many responsibilities and "issues" to deal with right now. Drinking has never sounded nor felt so WRONG and stupid than it does right now. lol

Old house is 90% cleaned out now (God, it is so pretty). Check.
The "parting embrace" with husband is over now. Check.
Did my home group last night. Check.
Sold some stuff from Craigslist today. Check.
Gas in car. Check.
Have my favorite black suit here and clean for the funeral. Check.
I had the most delicious sandwich and fries moments ago. Check.
A friend stopped by and is out walking my dog right now. Check.
I will allow myself, for the rest of the evening, to relax.
I am "too damned busy" and exhausted for the drama of drinking today, by the Grace of God (cause that never stopped me before!).
AA rocks.

Joni,

When you feel overwhelmed remember Mother Teresa's quote

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish
that He didn't trust me so much."

Mother Teresa
