Thursday Chip---Sincere/Insincere

"Honey" and I are attending a funeral today, the service
is being held at the Veteran's Cemetery. We weren't really
close to this man, but he married a friend of ours about
5 years ago. I feel a sincere, heartfelt sadness for this
woman, she had made this man her life. He was in and
out of the hospital for the last 2 years and it was an
infection that ended up doing him in. She was very devoted
and her entire life revolved around his care. I am glad he
is at peace now and I pray she find the strength to go on
without him.

Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

When I read your post, my thought went immediately to my sister. She has no identity and lives her life through her husband and her girls. If her husband left or passed away, she would be like a boat without a rudder.

When I was using, my motto was "Do it with style and grace." It was a false sense of self and although my intentions seemed sincere, my motive wasn't always right. Recovery has healed that old way of thinking. I can laugh at myself and not take myself so seriously. I am sincere and today I do care and I don't have a motive behind it unless it is to help my recovery. They say we can't keep it unless we giver it away. That is why I still volunteer at the local jail.

There is no hiding wether I am sincere or not. As a rule of thumb I am sincere. But if choose to do something just to shut someone up or for some otherwise when I really don't feel like it there is no hiding my insincerity. Either the look on my face, my tone of voice, or my you better get the blank out of my way look gives me away.

Have a great day unless of course you have made other plans,
