today
Capricorn
December 21 - January 19
You will probably be perfectly in tune with the day ahead, dear dear Capricorn. Of course, there are days when it is tempting to run away from the reality of the moment and its hardships. But at other times, such as today, you are so compassionate that you find it easy to listen to others, and life is truly rewarding. People find your company soothing and pleasant, and they are likely to thank you for it.
Damn I wish horror scopes were true---how'd they used to say that? From your mouth to God's ears? I do want to be compassionate and have people find me soothing and pleasant but I've been dealing with bucking sponsees. They are new they are supposed to buck and continue to want to do things their way. Sometimes in reaction to my wanting to people please, I don't be direct and firm like I ought to be. Or is that is my compassion because they are new and it can take a while to surrender, hell look how long it took me---I'm not new to Alanon but I am new to surrender.
Heading to the WV Alanon conference/convention this weekend. 2 newbies coming with me. I'm more scared than excited. What if they hate it and then hate me. Of course thats not been my experience other years why would it be now?
My mouth hurts, I'm cranky I just got back to my physical and spiritual fitness routines and I'm going back out for a weekend where I will not eat the way I eat or get to the gym or get enuff sleep or damn woman stop your whining! Went to the dentist yesterday and will pick up meds he prescribed. All those years of not taking care of my teeth or the larger picture not putting the focus on me has come to haunt some of my days. But then I was asking for dramam wasn't I? Gotta watch what I ask for cause God always seems to give me what I ask for just not in the ways I might expect the answer.
Had a wonderful walk on the rail trail the other evening with Sandy. She showed me where the blackberries were, we picked and walked and I brought home a bowlful that I put in yogurt and ate oh yummm. All these years walking down there and this is first I knew about the berries. I am such a city girl sometimes.
enjoy your today. may we all see the blessing surrounding us instead of only seeing the stumbling blocks.

I'm a Capricorn too. I am often tempted to run away. I've been told that I have a lot of compassion and that I am a good listener. I've been told that I'm pleasant to be around. Must be true then if the horror scope gurus pronounce it so.
Hope that your conference goes well. I wish that I were going.
I'm a Gemini--just to get that over with. I, too, went to the dentist. Since sobriety took hold I have taken obsessively good care of my teeth and the dentist always says they look great. I can't tell you how proud that makes me -- just like a first grader with a gold star! Somehow I think taking pride in taking good physical care of yourself is okay. You agree?

That would be a good thing to remember every single day! Thanks.
I'm an Aquarius.
It sounds like you got to have a little adventure. Nothing better than an adventure that ends with eating at the end. ;)
TEETH??? Who the hell had time to take care of their teeth? We were too busy with drama back then.
