[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 763205, member: 19522"] Hi Nomad, It is a learning curve isn’t it? I’m glad you are taking classes. Work was not helping me (except financially) so I decided to retire early. Doing okay, just those moments when things don’t happen as I would wish when concerning my waywards. But, that has been the pattern for a long time now. One would think I would be used to it, but I still roll the tapes a bit. Not so much as before. When I get to the other side of it, I can be grateful for those tender moments we shared when they were younger. The difference is, I know they are adults and what is, is. So, I have to pull up my britches and give it to God. Distractions are good, and some sort of routine. When my daughter has been somewhat sober, I get those phone calls, plenty of “I love you’s” but there is always some request that goes along with that. I’m not sure about sincerity either. Me too. I guess that is the way to look at it and move forward. “Why me?” Just leaves a person stuck in the swamp of it. At some point it has to turn into “What can I do better?” Truth. I love this Nomad. This can be put in the background. Life truly is a blessing. Thank you for your kind and wise words. Leaf [/QUOTE]
