At least, she is now in a good skilled nursing facility and I will fly home on Wed night.

That is what I struggled with for such a long time. In order for me to be healthy and use the tools I found in recovery, I am willing to give it to God. And in doing that, I have found new directions for my life and new ways to use my energy. I actually accomplish things now, and find closure in things that are complete.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-12575318619076391902010-03-08T08:31:16.910-08:002010-03-08T08:31:16.910-08:00Good learning for me.Being more tenacious, probabl...Good learning for me.Being more tenacious, probably.
