Interests
Humor, Zen, photography, family & friends, traveling with my beagle, AA, Yo Yo Ma & jazz. Motto: BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD *Ghandi I'm looking forward rather than backward now. I'm in the process of becoming a Phd candidate in negotiation and mediation for families. I'm tired of sitting here like a wart on a toe and want to practice compassion and do some fresh learning. It's been awhile since I did any learning which strained my brain.

Little Love
Oh I forgot . I took Dolly for her last series of shots today and she was scared for the first time. She was such a trooper anyways and I was glad that she is tiny and I am able to handle her. The lady next to me had 2 huge boxers that were terrified of being there and they kept trying to climb onto her lap. It was funny but I felt sorry for her cause it was also so unmanageable. (((HUGS)))

Thanks
Hi, Thank you for your support. I have been on DS for a little over a year and have seen a few people come and go. This has become a great way for me to express myself and to share and care about others. So don't worry I have no intentions of leaving. I have been limiting my exposure because I think I can not spread myself too thin and like to be available to the friends I have made. So for now this feels very comfortable. So, I hope we will continue to share and learn about each other. And most of all that it is a positive loving experience for all of us. Good night ,sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite. Now what does that phrase really mean?
Chocolate
Glad you like the avatar! It expresses how I feel about many people right now. This morning I had a one hour Swedish massage and I am all relaxed for the moment. After that I bought some groceries and some pansies. In a little while I am going to take a nap and then start my schoolwork.
When do you start your doctoral program? I love taking classes but I have enough hours for my last recertification so I am blessed to only have to take classes I want to unless I am required to. A couple of weeks ago I went to a workshop with two other teachers at Colonial Williamsburg. The day was wonderful - I rarely go to Colonial Williamsburg (it is 20 minutes by car) and there were teachers at the workshop from western Virginia.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Love, Gellie
Sorry
Sorry I didn't get it before but I think I do now. You are referring to the hugs I thought had disappeared just after I sent them - the ones that reappeared a bit later. Some glitch in the system. And now that we have been "sold" at a bargain basement price who knows what will happen to this site.
If I want to keep a hug from here I copy it onto a document and save it that way as I prefer to delete them for two reasons - one so I know where I am up to in answering and that some of the stuff is private and I would prefer it not to be up on site for the whole world to read - and I do mean the WHOLE world.
I did have to laugh though about my being an angel - I do not think so my dear friend - but sweet of you to say so. I have feet of clay like everyone else. But I tey to do the best I can and be the best friend I can be. Love and hugs, Marg

Close Alcoholism
Nearly 25 years of sobriety and have worked all the steps. God is still working on me and that is why I try to determine which step my higher power is trying to direct my path through each day. I am also a member of ALANON and have a family history of alcoholism dating back generatons.
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- work at it every day for past 22 yrs 6 mos.and 24 days.
- AA Meetings Working / Worked
- works if you work on yourself and I find that more work has been revealed from recognizing my story at meetings.
- Al-Anon Too Soon to Tell
- turned situation over to higher power and took it right back
- Outpatient Treatment Program Working / Worked
- did it the original way with members of AA and MD supporting me.
- Willpower Not Working
- Didn't get long term sobriety until I let go and let God and joined AA and truly admitted 1st step.
