Sunday Secrets

I knew that word would SUCK you in. hehe. I got NO secrets, not anymore. Well I do have one, kinda. Yesterday was Queens' Birthday and to be honest with you it was not a big deal W~ H~ A ~T ~S~ O~ E~ V ~E ~R. I spent most of it SLEEPING. I took the day off and slept. Until my sister stopped in and woke me to present me with some gifts (thanks Sista). I think (I know) that my sleeping habits lately are due to depression. I'm on medication for it and for the most part its under control. I use sleep to escape. Better than how I used to escape, but still not good. This time of the year is a trigger for me. I lost my Mom in May and I had a pretty devastating, life-changing event happen in May a few years ago. I hardly ever think of it anymore but it has continued to affect me. This too shall pass. It will and I will be fine, I'm certainly not going to drink over it. I am on my way to a meeting, so I will close with some good old gratitude.

Today I am grateful for~

• being one year older, and still sober. There was a time when I REALLY thought I would not see 40. I turned 45 yesterday.


• working 6 hours of double time today


• a dependable vehicle to get me where I need to be


• a kick-ass sister~love my Vivvy


• a great kid, who is becoming quite a helpful and loving young man


• my sober friends, in real life and the cyber-sober ones too


• yet ANOTHER new boss, who is kind to me and has kids too~so he get it that sometimes I need to take off with a minutes notice


• my bills are slow but sure getting paid off. Funny how that works huh?


• a friend who gifted me with clothing that no longer fits her son, boy did that come in handy!


• my friend Heather is back home with her children, taking it slow. One minute at a time-but that's OK.

Good night to you all, Happy Sober Sunday~QUEEN.....OUT
