As one grows older, one accumulates various and sundry anniversaries all of your own. Birthdays of course. Perhaps you celebrate the day you met your husband. Maybe you married him twelve years later. Children? Perhaps I should be celebrating the year we got our truck? Grumpy is going to be 22 this year.
What I am doing today is celebrating a special anniversary. Two weeks after I met George, I finally stopped the drinking that was killing me. One year later, I had a glass of wine and date my sobriety from then. I’m very grateful that the pressure to drink is gone, and the only thing I have to fight now is my alcoholic thinking.
What I am celebrating today is a new way of living and the new internal gifts that come with it. Thirty two years of wonderful gifts.
- Himself: Sang happy birthday to me. Working hard.
- Herself: Dinner tonight will be pork loin with sautéed apples and green beans with a butter garlic sauce.
- Reading: First Ladies.
- Gratitudes: For everything today even mislaying my Drivers License….which George found stuck to my phone.
