Yesterday ended up being such a great day that I have to write about Mother’s Day again. I was up early journaling in my happy place: the recliner, coffee, dogs sleeping, and a creepy cat lurking. I didn’t know why at the time, but I felt the need to be early for my women’s meeting, so I rushed to get ready, annoyed with myself. I arrived, seeing friends’ cars in the parking lot already. I do love visiting before ‘church’.
As soon as I got inside the building, the secretary asked, “Hey Ci, how long has it been since you chaired a meeting?” And there it was, the reason I was urged to be so early to the meeting. My service calling was to chair my first AA meeting on a beautiful spring Sunday morning. To make it extra special, it was Mother’s Day, and I got to spend it with wonderful, like-minded women.
When I got home, I spent a few hours visiting with my daughter and her boyfriend, playing Shanghai, and eating cookies. After they left, I worked on my fourth step, then spent the rest of the day relaxing. It was a perfect weekend, and I’m recharged and ready to take on whatever the week has in store for me. I’m sharp, clear-headed, not hung over or worse, still drunk from last night.
