Friday's news

Mom came thru the surgery ok. It will be a six week mend. I'll send her a care package filled with 6 weeks of a little present for every day to open. I've done that for others, she'll enjoy it.

Been in touch with my sister Cindy everyday cause of this. My brothers and other sister won't communicate with my Mom. I am so grateful to Al-Anon that I can forgive and be forgiven and live in today, not the past. I know my Mom was affected by this disease from her birth too. Her Dad died the year before I was born from this disease. And my Mom, she focused on my Dad and his drinking. Its what we do. It was her and my disease. I'm sorry she didn't find AlAnon and learn to put the focus on herself and on us. All our lives might have been very very different.

Oh well, its Friday. GOnna do what I can to live in Friday. I get to leave early today. I might actually accomplish something this afternoon and weekend. Have some program people coming for dinner and open AA meeting. E, a young woman from the domestic violence shelter that I've been carting to meetings--she left her 5 year old daughter at home with him. Oh how I have to work my program just to share my ESH, friendship and fellowship and not think I know whats best for all of them. I'll just keep getting her to meetings as long as she keeps asking me.

Enjoy your Friday. Enjoy today.
