Yesterday GF and I went to visit her aunt in small town PA. We spent most of the day with her, then came home, rested briefly and went to a friend's birthday get-together. We were home by 11:00 and in bed by 12:00ish.
Sometimes I am astonished by how much my life has changed. Twenty years ago I could have never imagined having a day like we did yesterday. But even more shocking is I could have never imagined having a day like yesterday and being happy about it!
I can remember making fun of people who spent their time doing pretty much exactly what I do now. Funny how that works out.............I'm usually pretty satisfied with my choices now, it wasn't always that way. My life used to be clouded with alcohol or the after effects of alcohol. My life could have very easily turned out much differently than it has.
Today I am feeling grateful for what I have, and for what I don't have. Grateful for my GF, my family, friends and home. Grateful that alcohol is no longer an active part of my life, although it will always be there waiting to take over - it no longer runs my life.
This is starting to sound like an AA meeting - and I don't want to sound that way. So I'm going to go read more blogs, stop being soppy, and get back to my cranky self!!

Me too. I used to think that visiting relatives, gardening and raising a child would be the height of boredom.
Now those things are the cornerstones of my life...
