Making the Day

1984: Year two

Spring is sprung, there are blue skies up there, and I have seven days of slept-by work to do. Tomorrow there may be rain under the upcoming grey, but today I am diving right back into life again. I’m going to make today fun.

Sheets have been popped into the laundry, phone calls have been made, and there is email to answer when a little more dust has been moved around. Then again, it is the day G and I were married and we are going out to celebrate. It’s not the day we met…the one we actually celebrate as our anniversary. We were married seven years ago, yet we have been together 21 years this year. It’s kind of fun to have two anniversaries to celebrate each year.

Not everything has been beer and skittles. Then again, perhaps in the beginning there was too much beer…influenced behavior, that is. Perhaps too, only stubbornness has kept us together these twenty-one years. Or maybe lots of help. For a marriage is not made in isolation…not if it is made up of two alcoholics.

Things are always changing and nothing is ever perfect. Even today. Yet, my life certainly would be on a different track without my G in it. Without Duck to drag me to my first meeting, I would be dead. Without Ba to reinforce Duck’s teaching, I certainly would be dead. Without G to bring me into a more spiritually focused life, I wouldn’t be here. So after lots of thank you’s, which I say every morning when I’m awake, I’m off to make today fun.

RYN(s): Thanks. You help me put things into perspective–something I need times. Congrats on your life’s shared journey with G–and bless those who shoved you towards sobriety as well as those who continue to aid its continuation.

Hi Georgette. 🙂 If the note is unsigned, the only way migh be to have DM trace the originating IP address that should be logged on the server (like he’d really ever do that, ha).

Indeed, a joyous, healthy celebration of your marriage anniversary. Watch out for the chocolate! LOL ((Carrie))
