Realizing that when I'm sick that nothing through my whole body works right. The way I eat, the way I think, the way I emotionally feel throughout the day.
Being able to say words to someone without expectation of a response can help stop the chatter.
Being able to feel the joy of my son Drew singing Silent Night in Dutch a cappella in the bathroom to himself. He knew we could hear him, but he wanted to share the song he learned at school. He has such a beautiful voice.
The joy that little creature brings to me every single day. And that is what helps keep me sober everyday, because I owe it to me and him to have sober times together. After all, he's giving me the same thing.
Lovely. Hope you are feeling better today.
