I have been a member of Al-anon for a long time. And, one thing I’ve learned is that when times get tough, you need to focus on doing the next right thing.

I’ve Been Dealing With A Lot Lately

Most people aren’t aware, but I got stranded in Norcal over Thanksgiving this past year. It’s a long story, but I had to take out more than one cash advance to get through and finally get home. The result of all of this is that I am still dealing with financial issues as a result. I’ve slowly begun to work through everything, but it’s a process.

One thing that’s been helping me is to focus on the next right thing, especially as health issues seem to be cropping up, particularly involving sleep issues.
