Tuesday May 12

Most of today's plans got foiled... But sometimes tha that's how things go.

I didn't go running until pretty late in the afternoon.

Elsie had a PT appt that we couldn't get to connect so we rescheduled tomorrow. Hopefully it works out.

I spent many hours fighting Elsie to do her homework only for dad to walk in and she does it for him right away.

I should turn home schooling over to him!!!!

One good thing though, she never fights me about reading time.

Emmy and Elsie finished up another book and got started a on a new one.

Elsie has never read so much!

It is pretty awesome!!

I did take a little bit of time after my run and before making dinner to do some art with Madi.

I still need to try to make more time for that.

Then Dad and I had our ARP meeting tonight.

We are starting over with step 1.

Honesty.

Being honest with yourself that you can't handle whatever it is on your own.

This doesn't have to be a drug addiction or alcohol or all the things you think of when it comes to addiction.

Being honest with yourself about what is holding you back in life.

That the way you are living your life has become unmanageable.

And you need a change.

That's what step 1 is about.

I really do love how the steps can be used for anything.

Any habit, any trial.

The first step, admitting that you can't do it in your own.

Being honest with yourself, truly honest.

Anyway, we didn't have many on the ARP call tonight.

We sure miss being able to be together in person!

But thankfully we can do meet online, and that is a blessing.

This is brother and sister Pollard who lead our ARP group.

We just love them ❤️
