It’s a small thing

A small thing to be away for a few days and take great delight in throwing together a nice chicken dinner for the kids (who hate it anyway) and cleaning the house (even though it will get dirty again). It is a small thing to stop while swinging one’s daughters to observe them in a split second, growing up before your eyes. Laughing, heads back, innocent and open.

I celebrated 18 months of sobriety today. I am at home in the world.
