Delightfully Humbled...


I have a Dear Sweet Al-Anon Friend that called me to her Home because she felt She owed me an Amends... Now mind you I have been Racking my Brain All day trying to figure out what that may be... And I'm Humbled to Say... She is Just Amazing, Just so graceful, Kind, and Even when She was Telling me of Her Short Coming that Brought her to this Amends, I just Felt Honored, that she thought of Me Enough, to Consider My Feelings of Something that Happened, 2months ago... and didn't just Brush it off as No Big Deal :)

and the Funny thing... I Felt While I was there, I would Make an Amends as well to her for a Boundry I had Felt I Over stepped awhile back... My HP Works in Funny ways, and "Our Amends" where Both On the same Subject, Just How Each of us "Precieved" things COMPLETELY Different... Needless to Say we Both Made Our Amends, and BOTH Laughed at that thought, they we have been BOTH Thinking of this thing for Months, stressing, contemplating, the Whole 9...

This Program has Humbled Me to Know end... This Lady just Turned 85yrs old last week, and She truly has become my MUSE... She encourages me Always to Chase my Dreams, and My Inspirations, and My Talents, and She is Vigialant at Making sure to Encourage me to Always Want More then "Just Enough"... I Can't even Imagine what life would be without her...

She is Blind, lives alone, and Gets around Better then Most... She is Just An Inspiration to be around, Nothing Rattles her for long that she isn't in her Program trying to Figure out WHY... I'm Amazed that "I" Could have such a Gift in my Life in Her, she took me Under Her Wing from the First Night I walked into the F2F Al-Anon Rooms, she was one of the First People I Met after the meeting, and she has been My Guiding Light Ever Since... Even with the Age Difference, she Totally Understands me, and always has something possitive when I'm ready to Count myself Out, and Jump on the Pity Pot...Her Program is amazing, and Reminds me of So Many Here... So Many I Only Wish that One day, We can Share that Al-Anon Hug...

This Program has Gifted me the Family I Deserve, Not the AFamily I was Given at Birth, but the Family that has Nurtured Me, Coddled Me, and Lifted me to Want More then Just an OK Day... For All of You I Am Grateful... I Can Only Speak for Myself when I Say... THIS PROGRAM & ALL OF YOU... Have SAVED MY LIFE :) I am Beyond Humbled, Grateful for All the Love that is Shared Here and Thru Out My Program...

It TRULY Will Work, If You Work It, But ONLY If You Want it to Get Better... So Grateful I DID.... :)

 

Thanks for Letting Me Share
