grateful
Today I am grateful to be able to sometimes see the glass half full instead of half empty. Even tho I am back in WV today, I was able to have time to spend in the Lehigh Valley with family. And when I was seeing the glass half empty while I was there in the LV, I could start the day over and use a new perspective. I'm sorry to Leslie to have been so negative, us Shiners can be so burdensome---don't know how she does it--
Got some clarity and able to own my part when I visited with Dot, my ex mother in law now friend. We talked of our friendship, her son, my son and alcoholism in her family and mine. She has wisdom at 80 that I don't have at 50 and I am so grateful she and I found our way to enjoy our relationship despite life's shit.
It's my darling man's 53rd birthday today. I'm winin' and dinin' him (not whining!) and then going to see Rent in Morgantown tonite. Happy birthday to youuuuu ouuuu!

You know that saying...I wish I knew then what I know now? Well I say that a lot but then I always realize if I did know then what I know now...I'd be in a completely different place and that's not so good after all.
Happy bday to your sweets.
I find it such a gift to remember that at any time, my day can start over if I have the desire to. It is a humbling event, I think it says we are teachable.
Happy wishes you and your love on his birthday-day.
Hi Christine,
This simple little post sure struck a cord with me..
"She has wisdom at 80 that I don't have at 50 and I am so grateful she and I found our way to enjoy our relationship despite life's shit" I just love that.
Thanks for sharing ~
So glad the weekend away was good. Have a great rest of the week.
