As I walked to the bus stop, three buses went by and I told myself it was a sign that I needed to turn around and go home, especially when I had to wait almost ten minutes for another bus (not that I was in a hurry or on a time schedule). There hasn't been sun for several days and I felt like I hadn't had that connection I needed to give me what I needed to do what I needed to do what I needed to get things done. When I think of it, it is really dumb, the sun is shining some where in the world, it is there even if I can't see it and where was my faith??? As I walked along, gave myself a talking to and said a prayer, the pain eased and by the time I got to the grocery store, things were much better. I knew I needed to go, I had prayed and asked for the inner knowing and the guidance, so once I was there, it was like my God had me by the hand. First off was my fruit bottom all natural yogourt (NOT STIRRED) for $4.99, then marbled cheddar cheese 460 g Cracker Bell for $3.99, and cookie and muffin mix 2 for $7. and my Stouffer TV dinners 2 for $5. which are regularly $3.69 each. I bought 12 TV dinners. I also got butter for $3.99. It may not seem much to some people, but those are extra special, specials to me. They were bought with gift cards given to me by my niece. I have had $50 worth of gift cards for 4 days. Normally, I get money and I have to go out and spend it. The day I get it is the day it is to be spent. For me to have it so long is a miracle, even though I have been in recovery for 23 years. God and I still work on this a day at a time. Told myself I was pushing things and trying to make things happen by going out today instead of waiting for payday on Friday and yet I just knew that I had to go out today. For one thing, I had been housebound too long, and I needed to get out and get some fresh air. Normally, when I go out I connect with someone when I go out, but my God had already put my friend Bert in my path today. He phoned me to say he had gotten some chicken and he didn't like it and did I want to try it. He didn't want to throw it out. I went and got it and I wouldn't eat it but I gave it to my son. So there was some giving and sharing and some blessings, and all told, a very good day. Thanks for letting me share.
