I Resolve To...
My oldest daughter and I have not had much contact over the last several years and most of it was very unpleasant. She's had a very hard time forgiving me for the many things I've done throughout my life. I'd like to blame it all on my addiction issues but the truth is, while that made things much worse, a lot of it was just ignorance and bad behavior.
Since Joey's accident we've seen each other a few times and I've made contact with her regarding Joey's progress and other things I thought she might want to know about. Trying not to impose but finding any excuse to make contact. Mostly in the form of text messages...
Yesterday she returned the text message. Then she called on Joey's phone. An hour later she was at our house with my two grandsons and we were having a little Christmas. It was one day late but to me it was right on time. And this afternoon after rehab I'm taking Joey to her house and I'm invited as well. Imagine...
SO! It's time for New Year's Resolutions. I'm making a few.
- I'm going to exercise more. I'm going to the senior center and signing up.
- I am going to quit smoking this year.
- I'm going to do at least one random act of kindness each day.
- Every time I fall behind on any of these things I'm gonna pick myself up, dust myself off and get right back to it.
Look out, 2008. It doesn't matter what you have in store, I believe I can take it. Here I come....
