stop hiding behind secrets

Good Morning, you Beautiful People!

I feel better today, but I'm still dragging my feet. I think it's the cloud cover—cloudy days make me want to crawl under the blankets.

I logged in to the AA meeting late, so I missed the reading. We are in the personal stories of the Big Book. I probably won't read it, but maybe. Sometimes those personal stories are enlightening and/or inspirational, but other times they are heavy-handed and preachy. By the time I got to the meeting, the shares seemed to be hovering around how you have to stop hiding behind secrets to move forward in sobriety, and I do think that's a good message. Not only did I get to the meeting late, and I also left early -- my husband asked me to help him with something, and there were only 15 minutes left, so I ducked out.

Today I'll be working on laundry and light cleaning. I'll also have to put together a grocery order and pick it up later today or tomorrow. I'm thinking tomorrow.

I'm feeling strong in my sobriety, okay about my eating habits, and leaning towards feeling good about my spending habits. Not quite there on that last one, and that's because I haven't started the actual expenditure tally that I have told myself I would do -- the note pad is sitting there, but it is blank. Because I can't decide if I want to recreate the entire month, or just start where I am. Procrastination at its best, right?

I hope you find something beautiful in your day, and as always, thank you for being here.

sentinels

like soldiers or tombs
they stand without giving.
encased in winged armor
the walk with the living.
