I love the spring peepers but will not hear them sing until May. I will always struggle with ego and control but I do know my higher power is much bigger than I, so he waits while I have my moments, and then I have to surrender all over again.

It'll be awhile before it comes to CT, but it's nice to know that Spring is stirring in SC and on the way. It's still wintry here.

I have long sleeves and long pants and socks and shoes. On the ward here it's pretty cold and my room is cold. I like to snuggle up under my blankets. I wish it were winter though because we don't get snow and it's pretty manageable. Sorry, I've been crapping on.<br />SarahSairshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110575221596955775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-81109655459627227292011-02-08T19:00:46.816-05:002011-02-08T19:00:46.816-05:00No sign of spring here yet I am hopeful....around ...No sign of spring here yet I am hopeful....around here you get money for bottles and cans so if they get thrown by the wayside, someone always picks them up...Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072868519236902423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-81982399854185357272011-02-08T18:58:46.739-05:002011-02-08T18:58:46.739-05:00The frog is so cute!The frog is so cute!Rainehttp://www.xadultbook.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-49539617060555995282011-02-08T16:45:23.443-05:002011-02-08T16:45:23.443-05:00Syd- The book Mr. Moon got was Flotsam and Jetsam ...Syd- The book Mr. Moon got was Flotsam and Jetsam by Robb White.

Our powerlessness statement: I am powerless over my emotions... is such the challenge for newbies. Even more so than the Al-anon statement might be for newbies to accept. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder about what delivers us from Step One. Maybe it is when we accept the help of a power greater than ourselves, that we become ready to accept powerlessness over other people, addictive substances and the power of human emotions.. <br /><br />These Steps are not done in strict order are they? For me to give up control over my emotions, I need to believe that I am not alone.....Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681768755769989964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-81564254736205143012011-02-08T14:40:32.109-05:002011-02-08T14:40:32.109-05:00ah, so very well written, the second to last parag...ah, so very well written, the second to last paragraph, i wish my teenager would read.<br /><br />spring buds?!? and three inches of snow ouside and promising to keep falling until tomorrow!! it is just beautiful outside....clean and crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156586299182570611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-24874343557130459752011-02-08T12:32:29.279-05:002011-02-08T12:32:29.279-05:00I was just commenting to my husband that I remembe...I was just commenting to my husband that I remember he made a smart and hurtful remark as I wrapped little gifts for our pets one Christmas. I proceeded to go into an internal rage (stuff it mode) and promptly got his gift wrapped chainsaw and threw it on the floor at his feet. I was crazy. I'm better. Ego run a muck. Am firing up the tractor today to enjoy the sun since snow will be here Thursday.
