3 things
1. I a found a bottle in the bottom my tool box today. No Bill, I didn't drink it.
2. Friday is my monthly shrink day. I'm not sure what I'll talk to him about, but probably will mention DS. I've been a little anxious and a lot sad this month, but the therapist will only ask why and what will I do about it. I used to make up answers because I don't know why or what I'll do about it. He'll ask if I am at a level I can live with and I'll say yes. But inside I feel I'm old enough and accomplished enough good things in my life that I deserve to be happy my last few years. Maybe my last journal entry was true in the past, but not any more.
3. The last time I was in rehab, about 3 years ago, I went to see Bob Dylan. I wrote this when I got back:
Ode to Bob Dylan
I found my higher power in a song.
He was there all along.
I just sometimes forgot him,
I was alone without him.
He said to me, “Somethin’ is happen’ here
but I don’t know what it is.”
I thought this might be a Bob Dylan Quiz.
He showed me the past and future as one,
Brought me to now and then was he was done.

Well the Bill your refered to must have been my buddy Bill W. Hugs to you for keeping on the beam!
Glad you didn\'t drink the bottle:) Yes, you do deserve to be happy so I\'m glad you are putting in so much effort to achieve that. We shouldn\'t work hard all of our lives just to spend the last of it miserable!!
Very cool ode you wrote there.
