Today was a good day all in all. Woke up to the laughter of our daughter and hubby made coffee. We watched Alohinani (our daughter) open her gifts. She got books and a baby doll, a teddy bear and a xylophone. Devon (hubby) got a fuzzy white hoddie that has black wings on it. Me, well me I got a day with my family. I'm not big on receiving gifts. Hubby is ups at because we didn't have the money or him to buy m a gift. But to m Christmas , Yule, whatever you wanna call it is not about what you get, its about enjoying what you have.
I have a proud moment though I'd like to share. I have a few family members as well as good friends who struggle with drugs and alcohol. I myself know I struggle with alcohol and am in school to receive my bachelor's degree in psychology for addictions counseling. Well I have a friend going whom is going to start the process of a divorce. She decided to do this on the day I got married. She ha struggled with drugs and alcohol since I have known her. But tonight she called me just yo talk. To give he a reason not to stick that needle in her arm and drink her self to oblivion. I am very proud of her right now. I know its no easy seperatin from someone you love. It took me three years to leave an ex of mine even after knowing he was unfaithful. It still strings, mostly because of the lost time I spent with the wrong one and not waiting for the right on. But I also know without those three years I wouldn't be as strong as I am today, nor would I have the beliefs that I do have. So i just wanted to say to her I am proud of you. It won't be easy, but as all of you should know I am never any further than your phone is. I love each and everyone of you and I am here should you ever need me.
