sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly
Permalink  


You know that phrase in the closing that is read at f2f meetings, the part that says "sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly"? I found myself thinking about that during the last ten days visiting my family for the holidays. I had been dreading certain aspects of this visit, knowing how things usually are. I proved to myself one more time that having expectations will bite me in the butt, sometimes in a good way. Because this trip has turned out to be one of the best i have ever had with my family. They may not be changing, but I seemed to have forgotten that I am. And that's all it takes. sometimes. I actually enjoyed my time with my parents over the past ten days. What a treat. Yay Alanon. How did I get here? I keep asking myself. I'm not sure exactly how it happened. But it did, and I'm grateful for it. Happy new year everyone.

Happy New Years Pixel


I am so glad that you had a nice visit.


Sometimes quickly sometimes slowly but I see it in my life too, the changes I MAKE have made my life so much better too

((((((Pixel))))))),


I so agree with you :).  I don't think I have changed "much" yet someone will say how I seem serene in the middle of chaos and crisis and I am then reminded that this program is ALL ABOUT ME :) and nothing about the A's in my life over which I have no control.


I too enjoy my crazy family now and love them all despite their craziness :).  Thanks for reminding me.
