Have a lot of tolerance for the most part with others but don't have a lot for myself these days. Finding myself putting expectations on myself and just haven't beeen able to meet them. Nothing high or special, but just going through a rough patch right now with no motivation, no get up and go, no innovation and just no energy to do anything even if I get the idea. Didn't even turn othe the TV last night to see what was on. Had my nose in a book or on the computer. Just couldn't get up and about. My feet were swollen and need to be put up and had trouble walking. I have a stool to use at the computer and I can lay back in my easy boy. My big thing yesterday was dusting my china cabinet and TV. I was going to cook chicken but ended up cooking a roast of beef because I wanted the meat for sandwhiches. I STARTED cooking it at 9 p.m. All day I felt like going back to bed, laid down for about 10 minuts and then my phone rang. My son returning my call to say hello. He informed me he had come back from this woman's place and for a moment I was jealous. I thought, some other woman is being a mother to my son. Then I gave myself a shake and thought, "When my son was growing up, this same woman was in Toronto acting out in her addiction and her son was at his Grandparents and he spent a lot of time at our house so turn about is fair play. Seems only right she should be there now to support my son in a strange city. Attachments:

Tolerant/Intolerant
I pray daily for patience and as I grow and learn I am more tolerant of myself and those around me. I love the slogan, "One Day At a Time", it reminds me that I can stop looking down the road to recovery and concentrate on what is right in front of me today. I pray for the understanding of God's plan for me... Love is showing patience and tolerance for myself and others, but each day gives me a new opportunity to learn to love myself. If I am not OK with me, how can I show tolerance for others.....
Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

Read this and it could be me in today, except my son is in the city. He has gone to my friend's to do some painting for her. It is something her son didn't do for her, started, but didn't finish. Don't have muh patience and tolerance at the moment as my feet are ppaining andcramping and I want to take them for a walk downtown to the library. I have books to take back and books to pick up. One day at a time. Some days, it is just minutes at a time. When I surrender, I am empowered to do what I need to do today for my sobriety.
