Amazing Team

I have an amazing team.

By team, I mean my support team. Those who have gained trust, who I respect and rely on to call me on behaviors, thinking patterns, and self-talk that is out of line with recovery.

And by amazing, I mean A.MAZE.ING ! ! !

How can I possible thank or repay those who have done so much to help me? How do I convey the importance of their perspective? I understand its their job or that they feel fulfilled in what they do.  I understand that they probably don't think of me again after I walk out the door.

So then, I cannot help but wonder.........What kind of difference do I make to others ! ? !

Have you ever had a day where something really small, made an impressionable difference? Do you remember a day where a smile, a simple "Hello," or deliberate wave really picked up your day?


1)What did someone else do to help pick you up?

2)Did you do a simple act of kindness for anyone today? (And perhaps you didn't even know it!?!)

3)How far does your team extend?

Infinite Light....

I could come up with a bazillion different reasons why its been so long since I've posted. I'm not sure any of those matter.
I went to an Addiction Recovery Program meeting this evening. I cannot remember the last time I attended one. Its been quite awhile. I have been very reflective this weekend. Yesterday was the anniversary of my flight home from rehab. While being in the reflective state, along with a fantastic conversation in Relief Society (about choices and agency for which the conversation then flowed on into addictions, how they in turn can distort and destroy out ability to choose...See lesson here.) I followed the prompting to attend ARP.

There were all new faces. Those for whom I did not know their story, the same way they did not know mine. What I am continually struck with every time I attend, is that no matter the circumstance, no matter how broken we are or might feel, no matter how far off the path we have wandered, no matter where on (or off course) in our journey we may be..........Heavenly Father ALWAYS blesses his spirit to be there and attend those meetings with us. We can feel as though we are not beyond the realm of God's redeeming and merciful reach, that the Atonement can still to apply to us no matter how often the adversary tells us otherwise.
Its been during this last week, for circumstances which are beyond my control, that I've come across a major boulder in my path. As much as I've felt as though I want to throw my hands up in the air and proclaim defeat, (because there seem to be endless boulders I come across) I will take baby steps to follow the promptings I've been given. If it is only to show obedience to Heavenly Father, I hope that will count as enough.
