Pandora's Box
I started weekly therapy (every Tuesday), I believe, in February. Here it is November and I don't feel like I've made any real progress. In fact, if anything, I feel as if I've been backsliding. Therapy has turned out to be somewhat of a Pandora's Box -- releasing all the horror of a past I thought I had either dealt with or forgotten. It's been particularly difficult lately. The only reason I continue is because of what lays at the bottom of the box.
From Tuesday to Tuesday I find joy in many ways. Lately the main source of my joy comes in the form of a seven year old little girl who...
Hurricane Ida ... huh?
When Hurricane Ida began to enter the Gulf of Mexico, I admit, I was nervous. It was hard not to be. Few people remember that on a Friday evening in August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina was predicted to head for the Florida panhandle. By Sunday morning all of New Orleans was being told "RUN!!!!" The rest is history. Most of us evacuated. Nearly 2,000 who couldn't or wouldn't evacuate, lost their lives. Many of us lost everything. So, naturally, a hurricane entering the Gulf would make us uneasy. Hurricane Ida is NOT in the same category as Katrina -- literally. Katrina was a monster...

If y'all decide to create one, I'd love to see it. You can email it to me or post a link in my comments.

The wreckage of active addiction ...
My godchild began her recovery just prior to Hurricane Katrina. She attended meetings come hell or high water ... literally. Her life improved. In her early 20s, she rented a beautiful little two bedroom house, had custody of her 3 year old daughter, had a job, a car -- all the benefits of being clean came fast for her ... maybe too fast. It wasn't but a year later she relapsed. That was about three years ago. Now she's using, pregnant and on house arrest ... rather, she was on house arrest.
There and a half hours ago her mother sent me a text, "I need you.". I drove the short...
