That Time Of Year

What is it about this time of year that's got me craving alcohol and weed ?

Went out with a friend to celebrate her fortieth last night....had four drinks, got drunk off of that then switched to water, when I got home I wanted a toke so bad, but I ran into the house and went straight to bed. I feel the wheels in my head.....my husband was a great sounding board...

Today I'm going out with hubby to an Indian gourmet cooking class hosted by a friend....this should be a great distraction and it's FOOD !!
Ok enough with the food, my pants are getting too tight. :-( My friend said to throw away the scale and start writing everyhting down again.

Awesome time yesterday, had one glass of wine....

Having a bbq tonight...again with the food lol, so happy to have all my kids together though and we gotta eat. :-) I had lentils today and yogurt and pear, strawberries....so I`m mindful again which is good right....but she`s right, if i bite it write it, if i nibble scribble....

My emotions are raw as there has been a murder suicide in our city, a man killed his wife and two children, age 5 and 3. He spared the life of the one year old baby. I am reminded of my own cousins` suicide and how I had weird thoughts after I found out. Thoughts like how grateful i was he didn`t kill his family too. Numerous other bizarre thoughts went through my head that are probably only understood by those of you who have experienced this kind of tragedy.

I am facilitating a bereavment group this month for survivors of death by suicide as a project for class. Once again I am reminded how the universe just keeps unfolding as it should.

It`s always comforting to come here....I trust whomever is visiting is benefitting somehow, someway.

I cannot stress self-care enough.

Love and Light,
moi
