Duluth is a place

NOT a method....lort. The DV class last night was on new material from Turning Points and the presenter went to Duluth for the training. Says the one who cannot tell a joke unless she reads it! :upside_down_face::eyes::disappointed:

I am grateful today for the presentation last night as it exposed different dynamics of personal positions within relationships in which abuse ccurs. It was really good. Glad I attended as I was super tired.

I am grateful for my friend who came over while I was in class and she and her son cleaned my counters and my kitchen floor. These are things I struggle with because of my back and hips. Feeling so :raised_hands: blessed and grateful.

I am grateful to be living soberly and thinking clearly as there are many parts of me that want to say things that should be said and said with a nicety that I have to practice. I mean, I need to say, "stop with all the questions and demands and let me do my job. Save your questions and comments for a meeting in order for me to learn this process and figure out what needs to be done."

It will be said. I chose inaction. Not reaction and not action. Glory be to these choices! Silence is golden to those with silver tongues, or so my grandma always said.

I am so grateful for an opportunity that may present itself to work weekends running groups in our community with parents and kids for the summer. I think I will be able to do this, if it pans out as planned, and still work the pet resort at least one afternoon or morning each weekend day. I am praying this all works and will know more later this week or next.

I am so grateful that Lil Man and Lucy had 0 antics last night. They slept cozied up to each other. Either lil didn't notice or he just didn't care. Nonetheless I slept and slept long and hard.

I am grateful to be getting a roommate. Helps the both of us and that is nice to know...I mean it is a room un my house that is never used. Why not? Vetted this kiddo. No drinking. No drugs. Works. Very chill. I can work with that.

Feeling super excited about my groups and today I get to work on coping skills with adults! Yay! More groups added...we added a teens group and this will allow me to work with kiddos 13 to 17 with and without ASD or ADHD to manage life better. Giving tools for their toolboxes. So excited about this.

Today I am grateful, sober, and strong!
