I absolutely love the weather this time of year. The longer days are filled with sunshine, and I can enjoy the golden hours after work when I can get outside before it’s dark. My daughter is going out of town for the long weekend, and Chevy managed to cut her leg on the fence last week. Tonight, I went to the stables to have her show me the wound cleaning process for my grandma duties. I really just wanted to go visit the horses, goats, llama, chickens, and peacock. My ‘boss’ had to keep telling me to quit fucking around and pay attention.
Not only was I spending quality time with my kid, but I was also showing her I am reliable again and that she can count on me because I’m sober and dependable. She doesn’t have to worry about me like she used to when I was in active addiction. It felt great.
When I got home after eight o’clock, there was still time to hang out in the front yard with the dogs and set up the Ladder Ball for this weekend. My first tomato is growing, and there are lots of promising flower buds on the plant. I think the basil is dying.
I am content right now, and my heart is full of love.
