I WON'T run away ~ I WON'T run away

March came and went.
April came and went.
May is here and nearly done.

Once again, I sit at my keyboard with a modicum of disgust at myself for failing to write. As I oft mentioned in my previous FEW posts, I think about it, lament over it and then do nothing to change it. I've written very little of anything ~ anywhere. I have some scattered about-the-house Post-It notes with reminders to do this or that. I have stacks of unopened envelopes (bills mostly) with scribbled phone messages, thoughts for recipes or appointments scrawled on them. I DID invest ($1.00 at the going-out-of-business sale at Border's) in a purse-sized calendar and I DO actually use it. Baby steps I suppose.

Another bullet list? How do I recap all that has happened in the past few months? How much of my daily life is all that important or memorable in truth? Here are the highlights:

• Huck has continued to bounce in and out of the program. He has moved into a place of his own and holds his job and is seemingly happy. He will be venturing out to 2 concerts for the first 2 weeks of June. He will meet up with his brothers and some friends. I worry, but I've let go.
• 4 weeks ago I told Willow she was not welcome to live with me anymore. She was arrested a week ago today. I've been praying for her arrest ~ I should have been more specific about the charges. I will get to visit her for the first time today.
• New Beau and I have now surpassed the 6-month mark in our budding relationship. I am giddy with him. He has been my rock.
• My mother, who has been attending Al-Anon now for close to a year, recites the "3 C's" regularly. I didn't cause it. I can't cure it. I can't control it. Along with The Serenity Prayer ~ it is comforting to know and to believe.
• I am still sober. I am a miracle today.

Hugs to all,
