poorest of the poor
Yesterday I traveled in a county that is the poorest in WV and the 5th poorest in the nation. I could see once again how very blessed I am. I did wonder why people would stay there. But ya know I stayed my my miserable shit for a very very long time cause I knew it well, it was warm and comfortable shit. It was climbing out of the hole, getting uncomfortable that moved and changed me changed my insides.
Heading back to Fairmont in a bit. I am not unhappy to be leaving this group of people today. I hope to never have to travel with them again. I don't want to be judgemental, I just don't choose to live life the way some others do and today I know I don't have to.
And I know the addiction of smoking. I know how it seemed the hardest thing in my life to quit. I am so grateful to have been blessed enuff to stop. Acupuncture and David. Of course I was finally ready really ready to quit too. I had one year of ALAnon at the time learning how to take care of myself and how that meant taking care of myself not bubblebaths.
Time to call my sponsor, get a shower and get on the road. I have my Christmas list to hit the outlets on the way home. Maybe I'll be able to shop a bit today.
Enjoy your today a moment at a time if need be

Sometimes seeing the other side of the tracks can be so good for our gratitude. The other side of the tracks need not always be financial either.
I am glad I do not have to live that way today either.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hmm--haven't had a bubblebath in a while but you just gave me a great idea.
Anymore, I prefer to travel with the people that I want to travel with. Otherwise, I drive my own car so I can go alone. I'm much happier that way.
yeh with you on that one, I work with people who I wouldnt want to mix with now, outa work time. I am glad too that I do not have to AND choose not to live like they do JUST FOR TODAY.
God bless them, I used to live like them
happy sunday
People look at you funny when you remind them that this is just your job, it's where you go to make money, not friends. If your lucky you like the people you work with and love the work. We've been on the same track here, I have B
been to inner city Reading alot, new building there-planted a garden by the door where the students come in and someone stole all the shrubs right out of the ground...guess someone was really needing a garden, I'll try again.
