We're making plans for shacking up in November. Might as well, he's always here. We are both in recovery. It's true, living with active disease and dysfunction is unbearable. I feel much compassion for those who are stuck.shanachiehttp://theshanachie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-85428150679380781002011-08-23T09:58:22.500-04:002011-08-23T09:58:22.500-04:00Syd you do realize that life is linear eh?

What was yesterday can never be changed and what is tomorrow can only have a course set for, even then a good wind can blow you off course. <br /><br />All there is, is today, this moment, this actual single beat of the heart. Fill that moment with the good and let the rest take care of itself.

What is the point of being a hostile martyr?" my grandmother stayed with my violent alcoholic grandfather in large part because she couldn't afford to leave him. she had quit school at 14 to work, and then quit work when she got married, and when his alcoholism became violent she had two kids and nowhere to go. and she indeed became a hostile martyr. ... today i feel fortunate that i could support myself if i needed to leave. it's still a fact, though, that women are by and large paid less then men for the same work, and many women stay in unacceptable circumstances because they've given up time in their careers so they can raise kids, and if they were to leave, they couldn't support themselves. <br /><br />it's so good to see that the boat is bringing you such happiness, Syd. x/gGuineverehttp://guineveregetssober.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-11416418018368987612011-08-22T23:50:33.166-04:002011-08-22T23:50:33.166-04:00there is much good to focus on...and it makes our ...there is much good to focus on...and it makes our days all the sweeter when we do...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
