The light of day

It has been a good day here.  I took several of the dogs to the beach and then to dog park where they played and ran around, enjoying the many mud puddles at the park and the surf at the beach.  They are always so tired when we finish these excursions--all are currently laid out snoring on their beds. 

Later this afternoon,  about ten people from my wife's AA home group came over for dinner. She invited them over two weeks ago.  There was plenty of food and every one seemed to enjoy the fellowship.  She made a wonderful bouillabaisse, french bread, and a delicious beef and noodle stroganoff with noodles.  Tonight after the meeting she was really tired but glad to have had her group over. 

We are both concerned over a medical problem that C. has had recently.  She has gone in for an exam and further tests are being ordered, along with a CT scan.  We won't know the results until those are done.  We are keeping a positive attitude.  I am doing my best to live in the day and not projecting about something that has not been diagnosed.  So far I am doing well with not projecting, knowing that we will both face whatever the results are.  C. is also doing well, but it tugs at my heart to see her troubled.  I want to protect her from harm but know that is not possible.  All I can do is to be kind and loving to her, help her, and be there for her no matter what. 

Just wanted to let you know because you are part of my recovery community.  And this is something that has been on my mind over the past week.  It was time for me to give it up here.  And by letting it see the light of day, it makes my feelings much brighter.
