What a weekend. As for my current state of mind, I had two breakthroughs over the weekend regarding my insecurities. I came to some realizations and now I can really move forward. That means I'll stop making stupid comments at my wife about some things that only hurt her feelings. There was no reason why I should have said some things.
We had "Breakfast with Santa" on Saturday. Although we did have a little row before we left, it was settled and we had a nice time. On Saturday night we went to a Christmas Open House at some very dear friends of mine. I almost came out to my female friend about Meredith. I had the chance to speak with both Tressa and Maria yesterday, and that always makes me happy. Soon I hope to call Mandy.
The one thing I especially did yesterday concerns my drinking. I'm not drinking every day, nor am I getting drunk a lot. But lately there has been some increased alcohol use, especially as my personal and professional life was spiraling downward. Once or twice I said and/or did something really idiotic after a drink or two. It was suggested that I attend an AA meeting. I did that last night and walked away with a sense of renewal. I'll be going back next week.
So with all this, I actually got a good night's sleep for a Sunday. I awoke this morning refreshed, and with good feelings I haven't had in a long time. Tonight my daughter's class is putting on a little Christmas concert and I can't wait.
