Sometimes bad things happen. I'm very guilty of writing on here when I don't feel so good, and simply celebrating without my keyboard when times are great.

Today, I got some bad news. It could have very easily been worse news, but perhaps that is to come. I don't know at this stage, and I won't know until it happens.

Today, I am a little fearful. Today I'm an adult, officially, for the first time in my life. No back up, no protection; this is it.

I don't know whether it's appropriate to write about, much less post online, so for now I have to just say the above, and put the rest in my paper journal.

Sobriety is a gift that allows me to deal with life on life's terms. Some days life really happens, and today is one of them.

Glad to have a bit of gratitude in the bank to deal with it.
