jobs...health and marriage? There's not alot more than that...((((hugs))))
I am content with what I have. I can do the tour of homes and see the half million houses and come back to my modest house and be happy. When i see those big houses what i usually think is..this is not a very dog freindly house. my BOYS could not run in and out the doggie door and play in the yard or watch out the window like they do. It'l like finding gratitude that out house IS dog-friendly. I see people with BMW convertibles and I'm FINE with my new Pontiac. (I was also fine with my Aztec but the gas mileage was getting very old.)I'm content with my jobs and my marriage. I am very happy that I love both of my jobs and emjoy going to work. I also am content with myself. I'm not jealous of people who are prettier, skinnier, etc.
The closest thing I have to jealousy is when I read the obituaries each day and see lots of folkd younger than I am dying. That makes me with I was about 10 years younger so I could enjoy life a little longer. It's not actualy a jealousy...but I wish i was as happy as I am now when i was 10 years younger if that makes sense. i wasted alot of years being miserable and not having a HP inmy life. I'm a little jealous of folks who have what I have now but are younger.

Dear Sweet Wonderful Lin----Thanks for bringing me back to reality!!!
Just for today I have a home, a job, and people in my life to be able to vent stuff to. I have a lot of years of sobriety and that is priceless. The old timers in the program used to tell me to want what ya have don't always have to have what you want!!! Words of wisdom-------Mistyeve

Afternoon Mistyeve,
Jealous/Content
Jealous definitely not. I am pretty much happy with the things I have and for those things I am not satisfied with I put it in God's hands and hope for the best.
What I am not content with is what is happening to this site. It's deterioration is shocking. I don't know if it just people don't care ,or are too lazy, or just complacent about the whole thing. It shocks me to see the same handful of people day in and day out doing all the posting. Right now we are at over 500 in membership and maybe 5 post on the boards. Makes me wonder if it is all worth my time and effort. When I first came to EOR it was a small site but was filled with warmth and concern and tons of ESH. Now that feeling is no longer there. It has been perverted into some bizarre message center for those who claim to be working their program. Meetings have gone from and abundance down to one and even that one is poorly attended. I see no growth, very little spirituality and even less ESH. Guess I am going to have to put this one in God's hands and see what He does with it.
Love & God Bless,
Arlene

Dear Arlene----I know what ya mean about participation. There are a
lot of ghosts that don't post. I'm also discourage by how difficult it is to sign up and get into the column to post. I can't get into the subject area any more I have to go in the back door thru if some one answered a post and go thru their profile and what they posted on. I think my equipment is getting too primitive or the site is getting more technical. I will keep on posting as long as I can but if I should stop then you know I am blocked out by too much
technical stuff. Anyway good to hear from ya!!!----Mistyeve
