A Nice Day & Prayer Request


I think yesterday had to be one of the nicest days since my A got clean and sober.  We woke up and my A made us breakfast, we watched a movie, just laying in bed.  Then when I wrote the grocery list, he volunteered to go shopping with me.  It's been years since we went grocery shopping together.  We watched a movie in the afternoon and we cooked dinner together.  He was a little irritated with our youngest and when I said that yelling doesn't get your point across any clearer.....he told me to leave him alone, I said I would, went about my business, not mad but taking his advice.  Although my feelings were hurt, I didn't hold any resentment or anger.  He quickly came to me and apologized.  I am on top of the world, right now.  A year ago there would have been a huge fight, yelling, screaming, threats of divorce.  We are both learning so much.  I am now back on concentrating on living healthy.  Healthy food choices, been lax since November.  Back to reading and working on me...it's so easy not to work the program when things are going smooth.  I have to remind myself that I am still a work in progress. 


Hugs Mary


PS, small prayers for my son he leaves for training tomorrow, and March 1st he is being deployed to the sandbox.  His family will be relocated to Georgia, where his wife is from.  In case she has to be hospilited.  (She has CF)  Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers, it will be a long 7 months for them.


CF:


The symptoms and severity of CF vary from person to person. Some people with CF have serious lung and digestive problems. Other people have more mild disease that doesn't show up until they are adolescents or young adults.  Respiratory failure is the most common cause of death in people with CF.  Until the 1980s, most deaths from CF occurred in children and teenagers. Today, with improved treatments, people with CF live, on average, to be more than 35 years old.

RE: A Nice Day


Wonderful!  I do agree it is hard not to bite back, argue, especially when are feelings are hurt.  I do now realize that biting back & arguing never did help any.  Keep up the work.  I'm glad for you & will keep your family in my thoughts & prayers.
