September

Grateful for family that helps me through.

First week of September is bitter sweet.  Memories of  September 2014.   9/3 Put our dog, Jake to sleep, 9/4 I turned 49, 9/5 so so day, 9/6 my husband committed suicide, 9/7 our dog Jax turned 10, 9/8 I celebrated 9 years without a cigarette.  The rest of the month was hard for sure but I am grateful today for the wonderful support of family, friends, coworkers and anyone who was there for me during that time, especially my son.  We definitely leaned on each other during that time.  God is still good and he wakes me up everyday to a new day of possibilities.

A beautiful day on the lake shore.  It is supposed to warm up but I will take the gentle breeze right now.

God.

Sobriety.  Without it, I might not be here.

Not smoking another day.

Good coffee.

My son getting up early and feeding the pets.

I have 3 days off starting today and I am going to enjoy it.

A good job.

Health Insurance.

Good friends at church.  I love my church family.

A roof over my head.

The rain last night.  We needed it and it was nice to not worry about the roof.

Good workers who pitch in.  We are a team.

A good Manager and friend.

  1. Thanks for sharing about the time in 2014. I admire your strength to choose life and living. And if not a conscious choice you choose Justin and Jax and Skeeter. As you think about this week pat yourself on the back for I admire your bravery
