Thank you Yacky for being a friend...

I was in a little bit of a funk. Yacky went out of his way to email and make sure that I was okay...for this I thank you my dear friend.

I've been "keeping on...keeping on"...as they say in the program of recovery. I am on this spiritual high. I can't believe how amazing I feel! I'm still doing the 18 units in college. I'm still doing the single mom to three kids. I'm still working the lil part time job. I'm not telling you all this to get pats on the back.

I'm telling you this...because I realized something just on Sunday. Today I have become "teachable"...today I can strive for things that I never thought were possible. I'm doing this! I'm more then half way to my AA degree. A few years back when I was still in the streets doing my dope...who would of thought? huh? lol

Today....I've learned that I'm not perfect...and you know what? Thats okay. It's progress...not perfection. Everyday...I get the privelage to work on me.

Today...I get to be a daughter...a student...a sister...a mother...a neice...a granddaughter...a friend...a cousin....

Most importantly...today...I get to be alive.

I'm go grateful to alive. I don't plan on wasting anymore time.

    I am very proud to read that you are improving you life. When you do so it also improves the lives of all those around you.

    It takes courage and strength to make these kinds of changes and I know that they are not easy.

    You will be better for it in the end. When you look at yourself in the mirror you can smile knowing you are loved.

    Best,
    Bobby
