Share Something Positive from Your Day vs. It's All Around You

Got a lot of writing done today, spent time with the dogs, twenty minutes of meditation....now I am going to go get a sandwich with the girlfriend. It's gorgeous out and I am feeling optimistic while trying to plan out my new career path. I am feeling stronger and more determined every day. Things are going to get better.
 
^Absolutely wonderful!:D

Somebody dropped off two little rabbit candle holders at my door. That means they were thinking about Caleb and about me. Very sweet and even sweeter because they did not identify themselves.
 
Family, specially the one you have right there with you everyday is truly a blessing.

subutex, years ago when my brother was in active crack addiction and facing prison, I had lost all hope that his life--and my parents lives--would ever be anything but hell. I could not imagine that anyone that had lost everything (family, kids, job, freedom, self-respect, personality and the list goes on) could possibly ever recover. My neighbor heard me crying in my back yard one day and asked what was going on. I blurted out exactly what was going on. He and I had art in common and we both used to participate in an annual Open Studios together but I didn't really know much about him other than that he was a good Dad, a nice even tempered guy and a high school art teacher and ceramicist. He then proceeded to tell me that he had been a crack addict for many years--had lost his first family, a thriving automotive business and all self-respect. That man turned my head around in a very good way--he not only gave me hope but he let me know that my brother needed me to have it. Years later when my own son dealt with addiction and I would start to succumb to the hopelessness, I would remember my old neighbor and how crucial hope really is. More than hope, it's faith that you (or someone you love) can turn everything around.

I have faith in you. You are struggling and by the very nature of struggle you are going to win some battles and lose others. Keep your sights broader and see that simply continuing to fight is strengthening you overall. You have to learn yourself--learn who you really are and accept your authentic self, letting all the small-mind versions of yourself crumble. Pay attention to your judgments. If you ever find yourself losing all hope, PM me. I'm really glad that you saw that old friend and that it had that effect on you.<3
 
Had an amazing day with my son yesterday. I'm just glad that we're all here and healthy and on the road to greatness.
 
I got to see my "bff" sistah for the first time in months last night. Crashed at her place, ate delicious seafood salad. I guess that was not from today, but yesterday.

Today what's good is that the bakery is open even though it's Sunday, and I'm gonna go get some day-old bread and hopefully muffins 'cause who doesn't like a 50% off deal? :D

It's surprisingly sunny here today in Vancity. I guess I can finally say that spring is here
 
I gavesome time to a community project and someone said I seem like a genuine person.

I began the process of medical suspension of this year of uni study.
 
Today, I ate a fabulous dinner with my parents, who I haven't really talked to in months. Awesome brats in toasty buns, topped with mustard. We laughed and I might be able to get a ride to sobriety meetings from them.
