Yes, there is some good out there in our lives. For those of us dealing with addiction, betrayal and constant uncertainty of people in our lives, it is sometimes difficult to focus on those positives. Let me just say that, despite the continuing drinking and intoxication that is occurring while the children are in his care, I have still been able to find peace, fun, happiness and good ol' belly laughs.
About a week and a half ago, I celebrated my 25th high school reunion. And, what a blast it was! I had seen some people I hadn't seen in a long time; danced one-legged (my acl is still not healed enough to really use that leg); reminisced til the wee hours of the night and laughed until my face and stomach hurt! Two nights later, three of us went out for dinner and more laughs. What a great time we had!
Just this past weekend, another positive, though a bit precarious and difficult. The kids returned from their visit with their dad with 4 baby birds in tow. Evidently, the next was moved from their dad's porch because there was too much poop. We called and found some wildlife rehabilitators and after keeping the birds alive for 2 nights, finally got them transported to their new home. My daughter called today to check on them (their first night away from us) and they are doing fine. Everyone had eaten and they were napping.
I am so proud of my children for being such caring individuals. My daughter's concern was that the birds needed to know that someone does love and care about them. It is such a commentary on what she and her brother are experiencing. It was difficult to let them go, but both children did the right thing by giving the birds to someone who is equipped to give them their best chance possible.
May you find some good in your life today. It may be very small so keep your eyes, heart and mind open to any and all possibilities!
