Last night was an awesome get together with some wonderful women. I was able to honestly share what I was going through with them and was not judged, but loved and supported.
Just got a phone call from my husband at work. Yesterday I ran around all day from Akron to the West side of my town. He called to tell me that he needed me to do something. No problem, what is it? He said he wants me to take it easy all day. Screw the laundry and vacuuming etc. Sit on the deck and relax I was told. What a guy!
It is a gorgeous day here. It has been very, very hot the last few days, but today is sunny and breezey, I have the windows open and it is nice to have fresh air blowing through the house. So as soon as I finish this, I will load the dishwasher and the washing machine and get a big jug of sun tea ready to brew on the deck, grab my OB nursing book and head for my lawn chair. I am also going to go my womens step meeting for the last time until AUgust or Decmber, as I will be in school and unable to go to that day meeting. I think a pedi may be in order as well!
Last night these passages in "Drop the Rock" really spoke to me: "...what a great opportunity the twelve steps offer us in reclaiming our lives." And, "Our most valuable relationship is the one we have with our Higher Power, so we seek out situations and people that bring us into closer contact with our Higher Power." I am so grateful to be sober today.

Akron?
I was just there on Monday, you could have poured me an unsweetened Sun Tea!!
I need to come see you. I promise I will head up there at some point this summer.
Yes-I love that "we seek out situations and people that bring us into closer contact with our Higher Power"
That's what I shall do!
Good luck in school. I just got out for summer break and will be connecting with nature and fish for the next three months. Great post.
