Time is a bit of an illusion for me. As a kid time seemed to take forever. Then I had strong memories of these times- that other people had forgotten.
Today is 2020. I went to meditation this morning. There is an old friend there. We share heaps and heaps afterwards.
Her oldest son had a garage business. Our oldest grand-son is going along for school work experience. This was not set up between families- it happened through merit.
J. told me that her son is looking for an apprentice. Oh well- I should not count my chickens until they are hatched...
...here has been a whole lot of other stuff going on. Inside of the family. No really need to discuss it here... ...the thing for me is that I was in and around but I did not interfere. I minded my own business, and dealt with my own business when it came up.
J. is the godmother to our oldest son.
One day long ago I was at a provincial assembly. I said that the outlook for my kids- and grandkids had improved because I had been going to Alanon.
Someone told me: "you can't say that!"
And I thought- "why not?"
I am still wondering about that one.I am thinking about it- and reflecting.
If we do Alanon in a certain way- it will bring results. On the MIP Steps and traditions board I had a look at Lois's responses to the 12 Steps. These are all concise and to the point.
So, maybe I am approaching the age she was... and I needed to hear her mind.
What is life going to be like, at this stage? What is life going to be like- going forward...???
