The Feeling is Still Here!

Did I tell you what an incredible experience it was to do a lead the other night?  I woke up yesterday with the most positive attitude I have in months.  Each month, I've noticed a shift to more and more positivity, but yesterday was HUGE!  It was as if I were on cloud nine.

I called my sponsor and told her about it.  I was almost giddy:)  I called one of my really close friends and told her about it.  I called the person who invited me to speak and thanked her again for inviting me.  I just can't explain the feeling.  It is so true...by sharing your own recovery with others, it sooooo helps your own advance.

I always figured it was true just because of the fact that when you teach something, you learn it that much better.  I did, in fact, come to some realizations I hadn't before.  However, it was more than a learning experience for me.  This positive feeling took over my entire core being.  It was as if my entire heart and soul were smiling.  Yesterday went so well!  Today is today and it will be what I make it.

I just got a good morning hug from my little dude.  He has been so excited about building his Cub Scout Derby car.  I just hope it doesn't come in last place!  I had to help him with it this year, which I am thrilled to do, but I hope I am not a detriment to his showing.  I know I have had fun working with him on this.  Hope he has fun tomorrow.  We are going to buy the stickers today to finish it.

My little angel (our daughter) is such a mother hen.  She makes it her mission to help with Mimi's new puppy.  She is so loving and caring.  She is so much so, however, that she worries a lot about everyone, including the adults in this mess.  I just want to hold her and hug her and shelter her from the angst that she so often feels.  She is such a sad little soul when she thinks about the divorce.  I am thankful for the puppy because it gives her something positive on which to concentrate.

So, off to my day!  I hear talking and laughter as everyone plays with the puppy.  It is time to get our day started and to get the sunshine in my heart and soul out into the world.
